A magnetic tape cartridge and A magnetic tape cartridge
recording/reproducing apparatus, which can prevent a magnetic tape from
being charged to avoid damage of a magnetic head while lowering the
resistance of the magnetic tape and maintaining optimum electromagnetic
conversion properties. A tape reel (7) is formed from a conductive
material, and one end portion of a magnetic tape (6) connected to a reel
hub (7B) has a surface resistivity [.OMEGA./sq] in the order of 10.sup.7
or less. In the magnetic tape (6) having a multilayer structure which
comprises a magnetic layer (23), a nonmagnetic conductor layer (22), a
plastic film (21), and a back coat layer (24) from the magnetic surface
(6M) side, even when the surface resistivity of the magnetic layer (23)
exceeds 10.sup.7 .OMEGA./sq, the magnetic layer (23) is removed and the
exposed nonmagnetic conductor layer (22) is connected to the reel hub
(7A), thus lowering the resistance of the magnetic tape while maintaining
optimum electromagnetic conversion properties.
