This gap was either accidently caused by Rose Mary woods by a misfunctioning Uher tape recorder or deliberately by somewone who wanted to discredit president Nixon.
Nixon was not happy, because it was so embarrasing. Everybody would think he had something to hide on that tape. But he never blamed Rose Mary Woods. "This gap was either accidently caused by Rose Mary woods by a misfunctioning Uher tape recorder" -This accusation was proven false when Rose Mary testified on November 8, 1973 that she did answer the phone and accidentally made "a terrible mistake" and re-recorded about 5 minutes, but she insisted she was not responsible for the other 13 1/2 minutes missing from the tapes. This was testified later in the same month that she stated "The buttons said on and off, forward and backward. I caught on to that fairly fast. I don't think I'm so stupid as to erase what's on a tape"

How many minutes of music does a cassette tape hold?
This would depend how long the tape was made for. You have many lengths. Very common are: 30 minutes, 60 minutes, 90 minutes, 100 minutes and 120 minutes. But there are 10 minute tapes for old computers from the 80's, that stored files on tape by converting it to sound-waves. For albums the tape is specially cut to the length of the album. Sometimes it wouldn't be two times 30 minutes for example, so a little bit of empty space was left on one side.

What was the smoking gun tape in the Nixon presidency?
"It was a missing tape that proved President Nixon had prior knowledge of the Watergate Office breakin." This previous answer is not correct. The 'smoking gun' refers to a known tape of Nixon discussing paying Hunt/Liddy (2 of the people involved in watergate) money. It is called The "Smoking Gun" tape because it shows that Nixon was willing to pay money to keep them quiet which is considered by many to be a strong indication that Nixon had a great deal of involvement within the scandal. It does not directly show Nixon as being in an central role however it proves he had knowledge and involvement. It is believed however that Nixon did not authorise the Watergate break in, however he did set up circumstances which could allow it to occur. The missing tape is actually an 18.5 minute section which is missing from a complete tape, this was later claimed to be accidentally deleted while transcripting. It is not known what this tape contained, however it is widely believed to contain Nixon discussing how he intended to use the CIA/FBI to hush up the incident.
