Tape group, finally -- just in case (8)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

cassette

'tape' is the definition.
(cassette tape is a kind of tape)

'group finally just in case' is the wordplay.
'group' becomes 'set' (both can mean a collection).
'finally' suggests the final letters.
'in' means one lot of letters goes inside another.
The final letter of 'just' is 't'.
'set'+'t'='sett'
'sett' placed within 'case' is 'CASSETTE'.

(Other definitions for cassette that I've seen before include "Test case about tape container" , "Music tape" , "Small sealed case of magnetic tape" , "Tape format" , "Source of music" .)

I've seen this clue in The Telegraph.
