Comment for Allan vs. Predictor. (Originally posted as a reply. However, since Allan vs. Predictor's info was so inaccurate, I thought this should be posted up front.) -------------------------------- A couple of corrections. Just did a search on MacUpdate for WireTap. WireTap 1.0 (the free version), is still available, here. Pure Mac has it, too. WireTap does not need Daisy to record. I know. I still have WireTap 1.0 and I don't use Daisy. WireTap *Pro* is not free. If you use WireTap 1.0 to record audio, just make sure you do not adjust the volume when recording because the "quack" sound will also be recorded, along with the music. In other words, WireTap 1.0 records all sound. You can't direct it to just one specific app. If you need something more robust than WireTap 1.0, I'd recommend Audio Hijack and/or Audio Hijack Pro. I prefer them over WireTap Pro. Hope this info helps.

I agree. Audio In is great and it can record in 24 bit, but it is not stable at all. Pref file always breaks and it crashes when you close it. On the plus side, I've never seen it crash while recording. Overall Audio Hijack Pro is best.

Comment for Anonymous (2): WireTap is no longer free, and WireTap cannot be used for recording without an application like Daisy. Audio-In is free and works, however, it often crashes on me.

Worked OK for me. The demo has a "Thank you for trying" put into a recording every 30 or so seconds. If you want to encode MP3 a LAMO app link is provided. Good interface. Again, OK but I plan to continue looking.

WireTap works and it is free. This shareware does not work, lol

"Error: faiiled to create audio converter ('fmt?') Application will quit." ...doesn't work and 2x "i" in "failed"
