tape

'music?' is the definition.
Although both the answer and definition are singular nouns, I don't understand how they can define each other.

'a pet source of' is the wordplay.
'source of' indicates an anagram.
'a'+'pet'='apet'
'apet' anagrammed gives 'TAPE'.

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for tape that I've seen before include "Measure" , "Bind" , "Adhesive strip; record" , "This is often stretched across the finishing line of race" , "Recording material" .)

I've seen this clue in the Evening Standard.
