Record radio

[Krider82]

Hi. I am looking for a app to my Mac mini to record internet radio, with schedule, so it only records the radio shows I want. Does anyone know if there is one.

I used audio hijack to do exactly that in the past. It worked great & I had no issues with it. It was about 5 years ago, so not sure if it’s still being developed

Audio Hijack is definitely still actively developed. I've used it for years to do exactly that -- record the morning news program I like on a schedule. For years I had it start up, record, and add the file to iTunes. Then I'd sync my iPod and take it with me on the subway to listen. I've also used it a ton to rip audio from various sources for projects.

The interface in newer versions has been streamlined, and has some great presets for podcast production and the like.
I believe it's available as Apple Silicon native to take advantage of newer machines. Rogue Amoeba is really one of my favorite developers.

Thanks. I am testing it now, but it looks like what I have been searching for.

In my days of using it daily, I had to switch around sometimes what application I used for the streaming. Sometimes I'd wake up to a misfire and no recording if the streaming app stalled out. Using VLC to stream of my local radio station proved to be one of the more reliable methods.

I've been looking for the same thing. I've been using Radio Gaga for years, but the company is long gone things are not working to well (luckily they did a 64bit version before they died )

Audio Hijack doesn't have an internet radio play built in so it just fires up Safari (or VLC or whatever) at say 3am when I want to record? You've found VLC to be the most reliable. It's not the end of the world if I don't get my program, just makes me cranky
