For all of you cats out there trying to record your favourite snippet of audio, perhaps a quick bite of internet radio, or even just to grab the audio off a youtube video, there actually is a way.

This would normally sound like a product endorsement, but in this case the product is free.

A piece of free software called Freecorder will do that.

The best part is that it’ll actually record any bit of audio that you can hear through your speakers.  So music streaming from websites, crazy audio from a news clip you found online, anything.

Now obviously I must state that you shouldn’t get carried away and start recording all types of copyrighted ish, so use this wisely.
