recording audio output from mac

[kingalfred]

Does anyone use an app 

/software to record the audio output in different formats ,from their mac that is free or cheap to purchase? I installed "easyaudio recorder" from app store but it records sound from microphone as well. I want to record audio and keep it as a file. It was easy with PC but cant do it yet with Mac.

32USD fits the category

cheap to purchase

since it does what its promising ...

cheap charly option: record anything less than 10 minutes, it works in the free version just as in the licensed one

Go to prefs and turn the microphone down?

I'm still using Leopard on my old Mac Mini, but I found that SoundFlower works nicely for getting audio from a web page into Audacity. Hopefully it works in the latest setups.

or google it. ;-)

It worked for audio I can get by clicking on the web page icon. But I was less successful getting streaming audio and video from a TV streaming site.

I'm thinking about getting a new mac now, and to see how to record audio/video from a website to my hard drive. I want to set up a program with timer to get the BBC because my local cable company saw fit to cancel it, so I need to cancel them! Ha.

Any advice about that would be appreciated. Edited August 7, 2014 by Upcountry

media human app called youtube to MP3 is useful for what the name suggests  - sound quality seems ok.

Joyoshare Desktop Audio Recorder. It can record audio from one of the 3 sources: the soundcard, the microphone, the speaker. It will record from one source only at a time, so the audios don't get mixed up.

As for formats, it provides 16 formats for you to choose.
