I'm Hijacking My Audio...

Gonna get all geeky on yo' ass now and say how much I love Audio Hijack Pro! You see, it allows you to not only hijack any audio stream on your Mac (DVDs, internet radio, anything with an audio stream really), but it's also the easiest way of recording old vinyl LPs and tapes that I've found.

I used to have to record the audio as one long file and then edit it, which took forever, but Audio Hijack Pro allows you to chuck the audio at it, it then listens out for suitable silences in the music and slices it into separate files ie. songs!

It also encodes it as either an MP3, or AAC file - whatever you want, so you don't have to encode it when you've finished. And then it chucks it into iTunes for you as well!

I had one long file with two songs in it (the silence wasn't long enough), but then I chucked it into AHP's sister program Fission, and sliced it and named the files in a couple of minutes. Brilliant. (As Danny Dog would say...)

I'm not paid by Rogue Amoeba the creators of Audio Hijack Pro and Fission, but I wholeheartedly endorse them!
