File extension tap is used for a special tape file for a ZX Spectrum emulator by G.A. Lunter.
The tap file contains blocks of tape-saved data. All blocks start with two bytes specifying how many bytes will follow (not counting the two length bytes).
Then raw tape data follows, including the flag and checksum bytes. The checksum is the bitwise XOR of all bytes including the flag byte.
TAP format was used for some C64 tape images as well.
Use XZX-Pro to open *.tap tape files.
Conversion to other formats is not possible.
