I guess you don't accept the word, "tape" as a euphamism for
"record" either.
I don't think "euphamism" is the right word for it, but I
frequently hear on radio news programs "Mr. Plybzxt
declined to be interviewed on tape." or "Let's roll the
tape." None of that stuff is tape based any more, not even
the reporter's field recorder.
I have started referring to "Recorder outputs" on a console,
though, rather than "Tape outputs," at least when I
remember. But they're still usually labeled "Tape."
