A quick step guide that will show you how to rip audio from MySpace and any other site that allows you to stream music on your PC.
There are many audio files available for playback on the venerable MySpace site yet, very few are available as downloads. There’s a number of ways to bypass this problem and I will cover two of best the methods here for you to use, the first being the easiest.
A. FreeMusicZilla
B. Audacity
FreeMusicZilla
1. Download and install FreeMusicZilla.
2. Open FreeMusicZilla, visit the desired MySpace page, and play the song you want to download. Whatever music track you select will then automatically be grabbed by FreeMusicZilla.
3. Select the grabbed music track and press the DOWNLOAD button. Your download should then begin. Make sure you begin downloading the track before the “Leech Timeout” counter runs out otherwise you’ll have to refresh the page.
EXAMPLE:
In the picture below I used the MySpace page of my buddy DJ Destructo Bunny. He’s a local up and coming hip-hop artist and I urge you to show some support if you like what you hear by either buying a track or two or by trying to check out one of his upcoming shows.
NOTE: FreeMusicZilla places your downloads in the location “C:downloads” by default.
Audacity
1. Download and install Audacity.
2. Now we need to install a LAME MP3 encoding driver so you can save tracks in the .mp3 format.
First download the driver, which you can do here. It’s in ZIP file format, so for those of you who are unfamiliar with what ZIP files are, there’s a guide here at Zeropaid you can take a look at.
Now drag and drop the driver in the location shown below, “C:/WINDOWS/system.”
3. Select “Wave Out Mix” as the audio recording device.
EXAMPLE:
Now it’s time to find some audio tracks to rip.
A good friend of mine is the lead-singer for a band called The Wagon here in San Diego and has been kind enough to allow me to use his band’s music on MySpace for this tutorial.
The image below is of the band’s page. Notice how the top two songs are available for download and the bottom two are not. We’re going to rip the second song from the top titled “End of Summer,” a personal favorite of mine not to mention timely with Summer drawing to a close.
Now with Audacity and the MySpace page open, click the “record button” on Audacity as shown below and then quickly press the “play button” on the End of Summer track. The track should begin to play and thereby be displayed as eloquent peaks and valleys of music in the Audacity track window.
When the song is finished playing press the “stop button” on Audacity. This will of course stop the recording and allow us to go back and edit the song.
The reason we need to edit the song is because there will be periods of silence in both the beginning and end of our recording. This silence is the delay in reaction time it took for us to both start and stop the process.
Using the scrollbar on the bottom of the track window, scroll back to the beginning of the recording as pictured below.
Using the mouse place your cursor as close to the beginning of the song as possible, then click and drag it all the way to the left and release. We have just selected the silence in the front of the track, which we will now discard by pressing the “delete button” on your keyboard.
Now we need to do the same thing for the end of the recording. To do so simply scroll to the end of the track and then select and delete the silence as you did with the beginning of the track. It’s that easy.
From the “File” tab select “Export as MP3″ as shown below.
It will then prompt you to select a name to save it as, which in this case will be “End of Summer.”
After clicking on the “Save” tab, it will then ask you to “locate the LAME MP3 encoder” we just installed.
Hopefully you remember where we just put it but, just in case I’ll show you where to go.
Once this is done it’ll begin to encode the track and turn it into an MP3, the music file type necessary to play on your iPod or whatever media player of choice.
And with this ladies and gentleman the track is ready to go.
Admittedly, configuring the Audacity program to perform as necessary initially takes a little while, but once this is done future recordings or “ripping” of audio files will be a breeze.
I use http://www.flvtomp3.org and http://www.youtube-mp3-converter.org and they both work fine for me. Best thing I like is, there is no registration required so I don’t have to give anyone my information on the internet.
I can share several tools I am using to get music:
1) virtual audio streaming, a recording tool to record “what u hear”.
2) listen to youtube, listen to youtube mp3 online…
3) free youtube to mp3 converter, as its name says, a free youtube to mp3 converter soft.
I uses these tools for a several months and they are perfect.
That’s not ripping music from sites. That’s recording a shitty quality song from the internet. Hello mono sound.
this is cool stuff , always wanted to leech stuff off myspace to hard disk.
I don’t know much about myspace. Aren’t they are dead anyway? I use http://www.convert-youtube-to-mp3.com to rip music from youtube.
musicjacker.com
hahaha no not funny
area ?? haha funny man.. You crack me up. Well i agree with you, but who cares what others do, get a life and more on. HAHA HAHA HAHAH roll over HAHAH
Musicjacker worked for meeee <3 <3
The Zilla works brilliant in Explorer! not in Firefox for me….
anyone heard of a program called musicjacker? i’ve been using it for a couple of weeks now and it works brilliantly.
What’s the link?
I normally buy my music, so I am new to all of this. There is a now-defunct NYC trip-hop band named “Market” that I want to buy some music from. Their Myspace link is here: http://www.myspace.com/marketexposed.
I am not trying to steal their music! With them being defunct for about a decade, there is hardly anything to steal!! Situations like this are why it would be nice to record streaming music and media. I have recently used http://www.vidtomp3.com/ for tracks with a url. That method does not work for Myspace: no direct url to reference. Neither does Free Music Zilla; the file just sits there “waiting to download” until the timeout counter runs down.
I flat out asked the Myspace administrator where I could buy this music (reply pending). I mean, THEY got it from SOMEWHERE, right? Worst case, the vinyl is available here– http://www.discogs.com/sell/list?release_id=101108&ev=rb. I can make my own MP3s if a have to. Sorry to be so long-winded. If someone out there has any ideas, I’d love to hear them.
is spawny still around his method was the best but the site has been suspended for now, i would happily help pay for the upkeep cost of that site…
Spawny you around?
I’ve tried this but couldn’t get it to work. GrabThatFile.com did though (and a lot easier too)
You all suck ass, actually it’s worse cos that could be consensual.
Plus you get pants sound quality that way, get some class.
thanks a lot for stealing music that costs thousands and thousand of dollars to and
hundreds of hours to create. obviously you have never talked to a musicians.
Ever heard of YouTube? People actually stream more music than they download for free. Musicians largely dont earn anything from YouTube either.
Here is a working Linux shell script to download MySpace music, for real geeks only!
Tested in Ubuntu
http://360percents.com/posts/linux-myspace-music-downloader/
To download video with myspace I use service takeyoutube.com
For real-
You think I wanna keep recording and putting my tunes out there so people can rip them for free and leave me HAVING to pedal my way through the shitty night clubs and pubs to try and get paid?? Come on, the sound quality at a live venue is never as good. In my recordings I get the control, I put in the LOVE. And it shows. So show some love back.
“You think I wanna keep recording and putting my tunes out there” – yes,no one is forcing you.
“…leave me HAVING to pedal my way through the shitty night clubs and pubs to try and get paid??” – 1.once again,no one is forcing you. 2.A real musician doesn’t do it for the money,we do it because we need to get things out of our heads.
“the sound quality at a live venue is never as good” – far from true…live is often better,unless the band sucks and manipulates that in the studio.
And the most obvious thing to say to all of this,as someone already pointed out…the CDs is not what bands make their money from,dumbass…and how would a person be able to afford buying all the albums ever made? …which is what one has to do in order to get to know what we like.If an artist has managed to create an album I love,I of course buy it after downloading it,but there’s very few bands I can trust to always create music I’ll love.
Since I am by my computer 24/7 I want all my albums on my computer…why would I buy a stereo,when I have winamp in front of me?
And the quality you get when streaming a song is simply not good enough.
And the lame excuse “you’re not a musician,so you don’t get it” is simply retarded…someone dumb enough to say that,is not smart enough to be a musician.
1st of all,I am a vocalist/guitarplayer/songwriter and have been for about 15 years and I say “to NOT download is stupid”.
2nd,the simplicity of this should be easy enough to understand no matter who you are…I know I would have seen clearly about this even at 5 years of age,so please shoot yourself if you can’t create art without getting paid to do so,you cunt.
Why don’t you buy it so bands can keep recording IDIOTS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
musicjacker for myspace is brilliant! it not only allows you to download any song off a bands playlist but allows you to download albums too! even gets the id3 tags.
http://musicjacker.com
musicjacker doesn’t work anymore D:
it’s always on “idle”
They’ve released an update to fix this. It even downloads album art now!
try this software which can remove drm from iTunes music, Zune Marketplace music, Napster, Rhapsody, Music Giants, Bearshek, M4P/AAC/WMA,
the only method i could get working was the audacity method. couldnt work on my laptop because my video card didn’t support the wave capture feature. worked fine on my desktop though. for anyone that has the sound quality record crappy, don’t use stereo mix. use wave. hope that helps everyone
with the new myspace player Firefox program no longer works
Stereo mix work good for.mee using a a old dell latiude d600 whats the diference whit wave??
music jacker is shite… u might as well download firefoxe’s ( if ur a firefox user) addons which download songs from myspace in flv format and then convert them into mp3… he difference s that music jacker charges for this.. the addon (of firefox) is free
doesn’t work, audacity has greyed out box so i can;t select the recording input and free music zilla does fuck all
try musicjacker – http://musicjacker.com
this shit aint help nothing
The music files are stored in the ‘Temporary Internet Files’ folder as …htm’s with cache names with an for example Internet Explorer icon, if You use IE. You have to open up for hidden files to see, what’s in the ‘Temporary Internet’ folder I guess. You have to do that under folders/options for folders. When You listen to a music number fx. in Myspace You can figure out, which htm-icon the song has, if You upload ‘Temporary Internet Files’ folder regulary at the same time as playing the music. When You have choosen the htm-icon, You think the music number is stored as, You right click on it and go to options. There You see, what the music number is called in cache or htm.name (and the kind of url for it) and maybe Orbit or some other new program can convert that htm/url name to music/mp3′s. Don’t know which program and wont use it myself, because it’s not legal… But I’m making music myself and thought it could be nice to grab my own songs, if the pc strikes and You have to reinstall Windows… Hopefully not.. LOL Guess more easy to store them on external USB drives.. Hmmm…
this doesnt even work
There are dozens of programs to “rip” off the soundcard like the Audacity process described above (you could play a DVD and take the sound off that if you wanted to…)
As for actual downloading:
Until recently, I was just using Firefox with the DownloadHelper plugin (http://www.downloadhelper.net/ – very nice) but that has also stopped picking up Myspace streams
Also the mp3 no longer shows up in IE’s “Temporary Internet Files” folder which it used to.
So my conclusion is Myspace must’ve done something funny.
musicjacker for MySpace still works – http://musicjacker.com
This method sucks, it ain’t ripping, it’s recording
hahaha yit’s suck
Thats quite complicated for one little mp3 file…..
how do u get music from yur computer to yur ipod nano
This works like a charm! Thanks a lot!
And about the «Wave Out Mix» I couldn’t select it either but it works when I go to:
> edit
> preferences
> Audio I/O tab
> Recording, device and then choose «Wave Out Mix»
Worked for me
hi. I downloaded the musiczilla program and I’m trying to download this song from myspace. everything works great except I don’t know how to select just one song cause it downloads the whole webpage to my computer, can you please help me and instruct me how to select just this one song? tnx
free music zilla still works for you on myspace?! it stopped working for me almost a year ago!
the only program that works for me now is musicjacker.
I’ve been using this program and it works great, even gets the ID3 tags:
http://www.musicjacker.com
ok so my audacity doesn’t have a wave out mix option, does that matter?
i agree with slimbeam, you dont realise the time, money, and effort people take to make a record. What happens when everyone stops paying for music and artists simply cant afford to record music any more?
You’d have sites like SoundClick, ArtistServer and several others offering music for free.
Alternatively, there’d be alternative business models like ads with music. It’s not the end of the world even if every consumer of music stops paying for music financially.
Before you say I don’t know what I’m talking about in terms of music production, I’ve technically recorded 5 albums now and am working on a 6th.
This is the reason why alot of artist don’t wanna post their music. I will admit this is a clever way of getting music, but if have these guys would take their genius minds and put it towards better use they would be Rich. I figured most the comments left here are from non musicians so you wouldnt understand. Some of us actually work hard in this industry to make a living. By the time you figure all these loop holes out just to get a song, you couldve just bought the damn mp3 for buck. Come on people get a life and spend your time making a positive difference instead creating a monster.
Time? It only takes a few seconds
Actually, free music helps spread popularity of a band. Plus, musicians make more money off of performances than selling their music.
Audacity worked as described on my mac, but the end result sounds like absolute crap, and I have a great sound card, etc. It’s just shite quality, and I don’t think you can get around that.
LISTEN TO SPAWNY!!!
Me and many others have trued this and it worked:
mp3dumper.net/how-to.html
Myspace music is protected and cannot be downloaded, they can be recorded by sound card, so you need to have a software which can record your sound card and rtmp-e files.
Tunebite Platinum can record them and also records myspace music and converts the files into mp3s or any other formats.
Also, can record myspace videos so it could be a good deal for downloading free music, videos and movies.
Still, if you need a help to save myspace music, find it here:
http://audials.com/en/how_to_record_stream_capture_music_videos_movies_from/myspace.html
anyone here knows what powerful software can download streaming audio from the the current myspace which is the imeem and myspace merge…. the free music zilla cannot detect streaming files in the new layout of myspace even if the files are being played….
awesome information! tunebite is great!
I downloaded free music zilla, and i’m playing songs but they are not showing up on the freemusiczilla window. can you explain why?
spawny>myspace uses rtmpe and in the future rtmpte.
Have you edit the source of rtmpdump because i was trying months ago and never worked !?
no i didnt , you must be referring to the older version of rtmpdump this one is rtmpdump version1.9 which supports encrypted rtmp or rtmpe.
Spawny the MP3 dumper site was apprantly hacked by iskorpitx is there an alternative site that does the same thing or is the site going to be reuped.
Thanks
The site domain has gone down spawn, is there another site that can be used?
The mp3 dumper site has been taken down or the domain has expired, any alternatives that do the same thing?
ty so much for the rtmp info, since Imeem got taken over I was lost trying to find some of my unique music x.x
this works perfect ^^
myspace now uses rtmp protocol to stream their mp3 , still you can download the mp3 using rtmpdump to download the mp3 as raw flv’s and ffmpeg to convert it back to mp3
see here for instruction:
mp3dumper.net/how-to.html
can you upload tools.zip on megaupload or rapidshare? it’d be much appreciated.
Thanks! This really worked.
This works perfectly, thanks a lot! will keep using this method…
Hi,
Thanks for the tip. Mp3dumper has recently been suspended. Are you aware of any alternatives?
yes.We need the source of the website of spawny for reup one.
What i liked with mp3dumper was some songs hidden who could been downloaded.
Some tools coming with RTMPdump can display the rtmp link as i can remember, i had tested months ago.
FMZ is no longer working on music.myspace.com but it does work on YouTube. Did myspace make changes when they purchased imeem?
god love you, I spent some hours before I found this. Completely helpful!
tried it on soundcloud.com hoping to get a track off of there so i could put it on a cd. used free music zilla and waited like 10 mins to download and at the end it said “failed”. ughhh. all of the above=fail! lol.
Audacity works on EVERYTHING!
If you’re wondering why you have no wave out option, this will help you out:
http://forum.audacityteam.org/viewtopic.php?f=23&t=1273
Thanks for the really useful info!
ZeroPaid shoud’ve informed this “small” detail in their tutorial, because now I have just installed a program and plugins and God know what was the other thing I’ve installed and none of them has a single use for me. Audacity won’t even record my voice through my mic.
The WAVE OUTPUT selection part is greyed out on my computer….. I can not select the recording device…. can anyone tell me why?
it wont grab anything off myspace?
audacity works depending on the soundcard and drivers installed on your computer. if its good enough, itll be able to record streaming audio, if not, the toolbars are disabled.
There isn’t a wave out mix in the 1.3 beta version of audacity. Help plz.
Audacity does NOT still work, to whoever said that it does. Stop wasting people’s time.
Yes it does….used just a few minutes ago.
How so? It’s a free program that captures your PCs audio output, hence there’s no way it cannot work.
The only way is if a user doe not how to run it properly.
@M: Stop spreading misinformation! Audacity still works FINE!
Soulxtc is right. Audacity records straight from your sound card. As long as your sound card can play it, Audacity can record it!
how do you get it to work? mine records from my mic on my computer and the sound quality is shit.
FreeMusicZilla deletes it’s output destination folder after it closes. I found this out to my cost when I set my desktop as the destination folder and it deleted all my recent downloads that were located there. I lost about 2 gigs of stuff……
FreeMusicZilla doesn’t but Audacity still works!
Tell me about it. I lost 10+ GB
doesnt work anymore
and i downloaded audacity 1.3.8 and i cant get anything to rip. detailed instructions would be appreciated
i just downloaded audacity but my toolbars are all disabled. what should i do?
a few more comments… I’m using XP and Firefox 3 for the browser. Also to answer the question about the stereo mix location go to tracks>add new>stereo track. this will give you two tracks in the middle area where you see the wav file. The quality is actually pretty good considering you’re ripping an mp3 to a wav and then likely back to mp3. Hey, if you can’t get the music anywhere else, you gotta do what you gotta do…
For audio off the internet… After you download Audacity and have it open, go to edit>preferences>directories
you might need to “choose” a location for your temp files… I just clicked ok for the preloaded location and the meter finally started to move (yeah!) then once I had the music clip all nice and perfect, I realized I couldn’t export an MP3, (boo) so I went back to edit>preferences> libraries and i downloaded the LAME MP3 library dll (just follow directions to where to save). i had Audacity still open and it didn’t give me an mp3 or wav file save option, so i think i saved and closed the aup file, and when i reopened it and tried export again, it finally gave me the .wav option. This I imported into itunes and … now life is good again… good luck!
Im using XP….i open audacity 1.3.8 then i start recording in audacity….and then hit play in the my space song….but my VU meter does not move!!!…..whats the problem…..and i cant find the box where im supposed to make the adjustments!!!
help pls!!
hey guys!!…..well this doesnt seem to work anymore!!!…..got any other ideas which can be used…i tried file2hd and MySpace Mp3 gopher too….nothing seems to work with the updated music player on myspace…..please try to find some way!!
It TOTALLY still works. I just moments ago used Audacity to “rip” some tracks from Myspace.
If you use Audacity (beta) v1.3.8 as I just did, be sure to set your source in that little drop down box to “Stereo Mix.”
I may have tweaked a couple other settings. Play your song in Myspace, and you’ll see the VU meter in Audacity start to jump. BAM!
Use XP for this. Vista is teh sux!!!!!!!!!!1111
Listen i like totally suck at using audacity….which box are you referring to and how do i start the recording…i tried to make it work but i just lost patience….if you could give me a step by step process id appreciate it a lot…..
thanks a ton in advance….and sorry for being like totally dumb…..lol
Right I figured out where the system window is…
Typed %temp%. -> Opened my temp-folder and… surprise! There is no fla……tmp file …
“not the browser window, choose a system window”
???
Awesome, the audicity way works. I’ve had this program for a while but I didn’t know you could do that. I couldn’t do the wave line thing so i picked ‘ mono mix ‘ and it recorded awesomely.
While using Opera, Flock or Firefox, go to the website which music you want to get, hit play and what a few seconds, until the bar on the player ( if available ) shows the whole song loaded, if not, wait a few minutes until the song begins to play.
Later, type %temp% on any window ( not the browser window, choose a system window ), hit enter, and you will see a list of files, just sort them by Modified, and, look for a file called ” flaXXXXX.tmp “, install ” unlocker ” which can be downloaded from anywere, give a left click on the file, choose unlocker, let unlocker COPY the file wherever you want, download ” FLV audio extractor “, open that file on FLV AE and save it as mp3.
Seems complcated but works anywhere.
Ok I did this but my recording sounds HORRIBLE! Any suggestions?
free music zilla no longer works with myspace. File2hd is crap and now a scam, asks you for money constantly.
I know there are a lot of options to do this, but don’t get hung up on Audacity if you have another method to get this done. I’m getting really tired of having to record in Audacity for the entire length of the song.
and I found this Rip music from MySpace
Mac users try Wiretap Pro. It is so easy to rip stuff off Myspace..
SOMEONE PLEASE HELP
im trying to download tracks and cuz of “shitspace’s” new music thing i cant use file2hd, obv
but i really need some music of it
the CD’s arent made anymore and i cant even find the on ebay!!!
help!!!!!
is there anything similar to this for mac?
i downloaded FreeMusicZilla when i would play the song on myspace, it did not show up in the FreeMusicZilla window. So basically FreeMusicZilla did not grab any song that i chose.
I then tried the Audacity
I went through everything and then when it made me to chose the Wave Out Mix turns out that is not an option.
Someone please help ive been depending on File2hd.com
now im STUCK
Dont try File2HD.com It is useless since Myspace updated the players.
Free Music Zilla doesn’t work anymore for myspace or if you’re using an updated web browser.
Seriously guys this site works perfectly, it’s amazing:
file2hd.com
Use it.
I am using a Mac can anyone help me get music off of myspace and onto my computer or iTunes
Doesn’t work for large Soundcloud sets
None of this works. I tried the sites too and nothing works. Wtf??
The provided link worked great! Thank YOU!
FreeMusicZilla works for me for Imeem.
it won’t let me select for the wave out mix thingie like nothing shows for that part
None of these work for me.
I did the audacity thing. Yesterday it worked fine. Today i tried to record a new song, but now it only records silence. I am 100% sure everything is how it’s supposed to be and i’m 100% sure it worked yesterday. I use vista. Any help? :s
Ok, so I downloaded Music Zilla. I open the program but when I go to a myspace page, the music won’t play at all and I cant download it. If I close music Zilla, then the music starts playing… Whats up??
i always wondered when this info would show up somewhere. hopefully more people will catch on now.
my music zilla wont grab the track =/
does anyone know why??
you don’t need to use audicity. i just drag the audio file from free music zilla to my music folder. then i can drag it into itunes
Brilliant my quality only went down a bit. I couldnt find the plug-in so I had to use the stereo mix. None-the-less it came out awesome sounding almost like the original really really close to it. This would be the only time I’d resort to something like this. These band ‘Everlasting Lie’ that I got the song from are Japanese street bands and its almost impossible to get their music yet they’re so talented. Thanks a lot for helping to keep piracy moving and to get a persons favorite rare song.
Whether “wave out mix” is available or something like it depends on your soundcard and driver.
Secondly recording an MP3 (or other compressed audio) over the internet and recording it gets you MP3 quality even though you record to a wave file. Re-encoding to MP3 makes the quality even worse.
NOT the same as downloading the file.
Help!? Me too please…
Can´t click on the drop down menu at all It´s all grey! So i really can´t choose the “Wave Out Mix” or any other applications. Have checked if i have the right version of the program and it looks that i have. (1.2.4b) have tried the most recent ones too but no success..
Do i need some sort of plug-in or anything to make it “accessible*? (the drop down menu)
Faeriel what you need to do is select stereo mix.
The information was very very helpful
Help!?
I don’t have the “wav out mix” as an option. I’ve got microphone phone line line in CD/Video In Aux/Line in 2 Stereo mix and mono mix…But no wav out mix. Do I need to download that from somewhere? If so could someone please tell me where?
Very misleading title. This is not about ripping at all but rather just recording what’s playing on your computer. I’ve used this method as a last resort since the beginning using SoundForge. Very disappointed that I still can’t rip the exact file from YouTube and MySpace. tle change of this guide would be appropriate. Your efforts are appreciated though.
One note to those using this method: if computer sounds are enabled (ie: mouse clicks etc.) those will also be recorded. Disable computer sounds first through the Control Panel while recording.
Soulxtc I think a ti
@davetheman…….how else can u get a track that you couldnt get otherwise?
@peterstroker You can use http://www.mediaconverter.org to get things off of youtube. it’ll let you take the video or make it an mp4, wma, mp3 whatever you want. It says there is a limit of four a day but just exit the browser for more. All you need is the video url. This is a simple way to get things off youtube w/o having to record.
Video Downloadhelper (Firefox extension) is the best way of getting Youtube videos, and it generally works for Soundcloud as well without recording every single sound your PC decides to make during the playing/recording of the clip. And it’s use isn’t limited!
I do find there are some very long Soundcloud tracks it doesn’t work with though.
At that point I also recommend Audacity.
I personally share everything I post on Soundcloud with a “Download” button.
Why would you do that? The quality is sucky.
Oh sorry (My friend wanted me to tell him where to find it)
Very Cool! This is just what I’ve been looking for
@BDSKATE…You can’t make requests for illegal software on ZP!
That’s sweet. Im still waitin for my tutorial though. Oh yeah this is off topic but would anyone know where to find the Godfather PSP video game torrent? Im dying to get it!
I love how you’re telling someone not to ask about illegal software when you’re on a page about stealing music!
i know huh hahahaha
Everyone Digg this this is a good guide and more people need to know about it.
That’s a really useful guide. Thanks xtc.
Im on a mac trying to use audacity can anyone help
fail.
True that. :]
That works. Thanks.
You’ll need Soundflower.
- Install Soundflower.
- Reboot Mac.
- Start soundflower
- Klick on flower in menu, dropdown, make sure under Soundflower (2ch) “Built-in Output” is selected (If not, you won’t here anything, but will record.) Your volume button is out of order now.
- Go to your mac’s Audio Midi Setup, put on the right side Standart-Output on “Soundflower 2ch”
- Go to Audacity Preferences, in Audio I/O you select in Record “Soundflower 2ch” and in Channels “Stereo”. (how to export as mp3 you read elsewhere)
- Restart Audacity
- Start Audacity – now every sound you play on your computer, will be recorder. Just play the title while you record in Audacity.
Should you have problems with your sound output later on, make sure put in Audio Midi Setup everthing back to basic – “bulit in output”
NICE IDEAS.
yes. get a pc
PCs can eat the front end of my Car thanx…
Mac User For Life
Mac = uber fail
Good to use
hey wondering if i got a trial version of audacity or the wrong version or something, it says many of my buttons are disabled including the arrow that in your demo would allow you to switch to wave out mix, that and the play button, if anyone could shed some light on this i would be appreciative. thanks in advance
hahaha no
