Cassette Tapes..Dolby B or C?


I still have a tape deck in my system, and have a few tapes that are nice for quiet background music. The tape deck has a switch to select Dolby B or Dolby C (or none). There seems to be no marking on prerecorded tapes to indicate the type of Dolby processing. On a tape I was just playing B sounds about right. Should I assume that all prerecorded tapes are B unless otherwise stated?

Isn't it funny that recording CDs on casette tape seems to give 'better' or more satisfying sound, yet digital 'dissers' claim that the reason for digital's poorer sound is the LACK of information (overtones, microdynamics, etc.) contained in that medium. Are we saying that analogue recordings of digital recordings restore information or just introduce distortions that are pleasing?!! 'Rounding off' the highs seems like losing even more information.
