What happens with the audio tapes is that they slide into the pop-up cover of the drive, which carries the tape, but then the cover won't close because of the projecting flange in the tape compartment.

What you should find is a notch cut (actually, molded) in the digital tapes - no notch in the audio ones.

Unfortunately, I'm frantically busy with marking this weekend, so I probably won't get a chance to experiment until the end of the coming week.
