  Digital Audio Tape - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
DAT tapes are between 15 and 180 minutes in length, a 120 minute tape being 60 meters in length.
DAT was not the first digital audio tape; pulse-code modulation (PCM) was used in Japan to produce analog phonograph records in the early 1970s, using a videotape recorder for its transport, but this was not developed into a consumer product.
Modern DAT has not been very popular outside of professional and semi-professional music artists, although the prospect of perfect digital copies of copyrighted material was sufficient for the music industry in the US to force the passage of the Audio Home Recording Act of 1992, the so-called DAT Tax.

 DAT
Most commonly known as DAT for Digital Audio Tape, it is a format that was developed in 1986 but wasn't introduced to our shores until 1991.
At the same time, many DAT decks can fast wind through two hours of music in well under a minute, which is lightening fast compared to the typical winding speed of conventional cassette decks (a minute-and-one-half for one hour of music).
While the market for DAT is apparently not as big as those for the conventional analog cassette and compact disc, it will continue to enjoy its own niche in the market for many years to come.
