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?

It rounds the CDs and softens the high frequency fatigue?

And throws in the tiniest amount of tape hiss - enough to get sentimetal about analogue?

Tvad,

In my opinion the best ones were CR7A and 1000, the Dragon was a top deck but tempermental.
