I recall using the Pro version, briefly during my early days of trying to Podcast with Skype. At the time I was focused on Podcasting and quickly forgot about this software. Having rediscovered it I felt a post was in order.
Rogue Amoeba has a Universal Binary for OSX called Audio Hijack. This snazzy piece of software allows you to record any audio coming through your Mac, including streaming music from Flash applications, DVDs, Real Player, snagging sound bites from Podcasts and so forth, into an AIFF file on your disk.
(Note: Such usage may be illegal depending upon the licensing of the audio in question. I defer to your own judgement.)
This program also has quite a few extra features including unattended scheduling and some simple yet handy scripting to automatically convert the recorded file to MP3 (using iTunes) and perform other similar tasks. The software which includes a fully functional demo mode only costs $16 for the license. Additional products including a PRO version are available from the Rogue Amoeba website.
My first trial usage of the software leaves me reaching for my credit card. Great work guys.
