Although the AudioVault didn't have an on-screen graphic of a cart, we still 
called them "carts". One "cart" could also contain a number of "cuts" which 
would then rotate. The on-screen controls certainly resembled a tape machine, 
though. One of them even referred to an audio output source as "tape".

No longer are we "bending magnetically coersive particles", but we talk as if 
we were. ;)
