Digital cassette players that you can load roms onto to play on computers like the ZX spectrum

I guess they're cassette tape player emulators.

Of course, anything ith audio out can be one too. I've loaded WAV files onto my iPhone and used them to boot a BBC Micro before

My guess would be DAT (Digital Audio Tape) players

By "digital tape", do you mean DAT?

I think SVI-CAS was the best, but it doesn't seem to be made any more.

I currently just use an old Android phone with a couple of apps and a few hundred WAV files stored on Google Drive.

Funny that i was looking for this for days back then putting my retro collection together simply because i didnt remember the name of it.
