Abstract

A magnetic-tape-cassette (1) comprises tape guides (34, 35), which are arranged on a resilient element (40) and is constructed for cooperation with an apparatus (2) comprising a magnetic-head unit (4) and further tape guides (6, 7). During cooperation with the apparatus (2) the tape guides (34, 35) are situated between the further tape guides (6, 7) of the cassette. This provides an additional guidance of the magnetic tape (3) at the location of the magnetic-head unit (4), thereby improving the contact between the magnetic tape (3) and the magnetic head (5).
