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.
