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.

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

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.

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.
