I have a 20anniv Mac, and would like to record a few of my favorite radio programs that I usually miss. Is there shareware or a utility that would enable this? I run 7.6, and just bought Soundjam for creating a recordings library.
Thanks for your ideas...

Seems like it wouldn't be too hard to setup with AppleScript. I just looked at the AppleScript dictionary for SoundJam and there is no record command, but an AppleScript extension would allow you to select the menu commands and then interact with the dialog box that comes up to ask what you want to save it as and then hit the Start Recording button, wait x minutes, and then hit Stop Recording.

I don't have enough knowledge other than to point you in the right direction: http://www.apple.com/applescript

Of course, this is also assuming that the radio program works at the same time as SoundJam. I have a 20th anniversary mac as my MP3 jukebox and I don't think that both can be accessed at the same time...

Good luck!

Thanks, I'll see if I can use that. Last I heard (at the 20th anniv mac website many moons ago), no one had figured out how to moderate the volume in radio and tv, is that still true? Lowest volume is about 5x what it should be. I also have to turn on the tv in order to hear the radio, I haven't run any utilities programs, maybe that can be solved that way.
Thanks again
