Explosive cassete tape (Is it possible?)

This is something I began to wonder since the very first time I watched " Like a Hurricaine".

 

Remember how Tommy Lowe was killed? He put some tape into his car cassete deck and it went BANG.

 

Is that really possible to make a tape explode (I don't know,  maybe by coating it with something that is allergic to magnetism) or it is just that the writers  got really creative?

I always assumed that the stereo itself was hooked up to a bomb so that when he pressed the play button, it was actually a button to trigger the explosive.

So basically, someone got in his car, wired a bomb, then they had to convince him to listen to a tape to trigger the bomb - So they gave him a tape.So it isn't the tape itself which blows up, it's the bomb hidden behind. Make sense now?
