New Audio Products for Mac OS X Excite Reader

Curious__George writes "I'm excited about a couple of new tools for audio for Mac OS X. One is the freeware WireTap from Ambrosia, which allows you to record any audio playing on your Mac, saving it to a file for later listening or processing. Its functionality will be built into an upcoming edition of Ambrosia's Snapz Pro X screen capture product. The other is a product that will be shipping by the end of the summer from Griffin called RadioSHARK (retail: $49.95), which is essentially a radio TiVo for your Mac: a software-controlled AM/FM radio that allows you to record radio programs (either local or Internet broadcast). I'll never miss a broadcast of This American Life again!" Curious__George might also get excited about the new Detour from Rogue Amoeba -- makers of AudioHijack, a predecessor to WireTap that has more capabilities -- which allows detouring sound output from different apps to different devices.

This American Life by vivekb · 2003-07-21 15:52 · Score: 3, Insightful

Offtopic: if you really enjoy This American Life, consider getting a subscription from Audible.com. Without listener support, TAL (and public radio in general) won't last.

And the sound quality is better than live recording would be, as well.

How bout you look into getting a subscription to This American Life at audible so that the artists get a little extra something for their work if you really want to support them.
