Audio Hijack is the perfect tool to record any audio on your computer. With Audio Hijack, you can quickly and easily save audio from almost any application to an AIFF file. This file can then be burned to a CD, or played with any audio player, from iTunes to an iPod. Use Audio Hijack to record Car Talk or any other Real/WindowsMedia/iTunes/Internet stream and listen at your leisure. Snag game sounds or sound bytes off DVD movies. You can even use Audio Hijack to rip Flash audio. And with built-in Timers, you don't even have to be there to record. Audio Hijack puts you in control of all your audio.

What is new in version 3.0.1:

  • Bug Fix: Recorders which hit a File Limit will now correctly resume after either the Block or the Session is toggled off and back on.

  • Bug Fix: A rare issue where Blocks could leave, well, droppings, has been corrected. Honestly, it looked like the Block had defecated. It was hilarious, but wrong.
  • Bug Fix: Recorder presets now correctly save all settings and tags (excluding artwork).
  • Bug Fix: Tooltips were sometimes lagging behind reality, but they've been given a speed boost.
  • Bug Fix: Editing controls in some Audio Unit plugin views would cause the popover to drag. No more!
  • Bug Fix: 24-bit Wav recordings now work as expected.
  • Accessibility improvement: The first block pasted into the Audio Grid is now properly selected and described by VoiceOver.
  • Accessibility improvement: The disclosure buttons for advanced sections in popovers and library sub-sections are now skipped by VoiceOver. These sections automatically expand on VoiceOver-interact. The buttons were poorly described, and of no value to VoiceOver users.
