Abstract

A magnetic tape cassette apparatus which has a magnetic head switchable between two groups of channels, respectively for forward and reverse play. Music searching, which detects pauses of at least a minimum duration in a group of recording tracks, is operable during fast forward or fast reverse along the track previously selected. In the fast winding mode the switching member for channel group selection is held in the position it occupied prior to actuation of fast winding.
