My newest favorite toy for my Mac -- Audio Hijack from Rogue Amoeba (what a company name!!!). For years I've been looking for the equivalent of a VCR for radio. What Audio Hijack does is intercept any sound that any app sends through the Mac's sound processing circuitry, modifies it with DSPs if desired, and record it to AIFF files, which can then be either turned into MP3s or burned to CD. Right now, I've got it set up to record Schickele Mix, Talk of the Nation Science Friday, Studio 360, and a couple other NPR streams from WNYC, WNJN, and WHYY. Now if only Howard Stern would allow his network of stations to stream his show, my audible life would be complete.
