I really have no complaints about the program- just a little annoyed at the delivery of its functions. I was in a real hurry to record my friends' band on the radio from my computer and downloaded Audio Hijack and had it up and running in minutes (maybe even 1 minute). Great. I started recording just in time. However, (and this is the WARNING to everyone else who downloads this program) the program prior to being registered, will add white noise to the audio after a certain amount of time. Didn't realize if there was a warning about this but regardless, I should have just bought the program. So that part of the performance was ruined. But most annoyingly is that when I did buy it and register it, I had already lost a good chunk of the performance and so in my haste, I only hit the Hijack button and not the Record button as well. I saw my levels and everything seemed good. But no. I wound up not recording anything after the white noise. Again, entirely my fault. Just wondering what purpose one would have to hijack some audio but not record it? So I lost the entire performance after the white noise. I'm sure I'll get to use this program again eventually... I guess.
I also noticed some clicking and popping when navigating around on my computer. Mostly when I would quit other applications. But if I left it alone, it performed flawlessly.
Other than that, the audio quality of the recording is as good as the source. It's a great program. I would recommend it with the above warnings.

Kudos to RogueAmoeba for making this upgrade to Leopard available! - Version: 2.2.6, 11/5/2007 10:35AM PST

It was great of them to upgrade a product that they no longer sell and make money from for their customers who already have Audio Hijack. Wonderful customer service. A lot of places would have just offered un upgrade deal for the new product and saved themselves the trouble of doing work where the only profit would be good will.
I do wish that VersionTracker would make it clear right in the header that this product is no longer for sale instead of listing a purchase price that no longer applies. RogueAmoeba makes it quite clear on their web site that AH is not for sale anymore, and VT should do the same to avoid disappointing people who see this and think they can get AH for $16.

Free upgrade for OSX 10.5 compatibility

This is a free update for licensed users to make Audio Hijack OSX 10.5 compatible. Audio Hijack's developers have a long history of consumer-friendly policies and applications, and I am thankful they're offering this update to existing customers who don't want to purchase the Pro version. Thanks Rogue Amoeba!

However, the developer's site kindly refers you to one of their other products which are US$32 each, not the US$16 listed in the VT entry.

Audio Hijack is one of those programs that I don't use regularly, but which works well I need it to. Being able to record bits of online radio shows or the audio from Quicktime or RealPlayer movies and DVDs is a nice ability to have, and relatively easy to execute.
However, I was a bit confused with one thing when I first tried the program out. In order to "hijack" the audio of a program, you must add it to a list. When you click the "New" button at the top of the list to add a new program, an "Untitled Session" appears in the list, rather than opening a dialogue box to allow you to choose the program. Instead, you must use the Inspector window and click "Select" to get the program. It seems as though it would be less confusing and easier to use if this step was skipped, but it's nothing major.
Audio Hijack does what it says, and does it well.

Decent program, but keeps messing up my screen! - Version: 2.2.5, 10/22/2006 12:54AM PST

I like the program overall, but every time it Hijacks a sound file, and I quite Audio Hijack - it totally messes up my desktop. Every darn time. I hate when programs do that!
I'd give it a 5 rating if it didn't do this nasty feature! :( I'd also probably pay for it too!

I needed an audio recorder fast. I downloaded and was recording within minutes. Very intuitive interface and works great!

Like Airfoil, Audio Hijack is a lovely little bit of kit. It's stable and reliable, and I use it to record streamed media so I can create "podcasts" to listen to later.
As Neil Kinnock might have said, it's lovely, lovely, lovely.
