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.

Same here! Actually my brain put together "audio" and "reader" and I imagined a $499 proprietary product that would only read Excite.com and nothing else.

I can think of a LOT of things that excite me more than this junk. What the heck do I need to record the RADIO for. The only station I listen to is a 24-hour public radio jazz station. Imagine the fun I'd have recording the block of jazz at 3am and listening to it at 6pm!! SUBVERSIVE YES!!!
