If you're not concerned about the physical medium, I think {ghogh ta}
or perhaps even {ghoghta} is reasonable for a recording such as CK or PK.
After all, they're "available" on CD as well, not just on cassette. If
you want to talk about an album by your favorite musical group, maybe
{QoQ ta} or {QoQta} would be better.
