My only take on AUDACITY is that, while it seems (both on looking and
its reputation) to be very functional, I found it completely at odds
with my idea of something even remotely intuitive or ergonomically
sensible. I couldn;t mange to get ANYTHING done easily, or
instinctively.

the e-mail for replies, instead of the digest, and I was trying to
thank individual responders from there, but found out that you
can't reply to individuals that way, only to the list. So my
replies to individuals bounced back. But I do thank everyone for
the suggestions.
Someone first suggested Audacity, which is free, so I downloaded it
and am now giving it a try (I found out that you also have to
download Soundflower to work with it, or it won't work.)
Audacity seems like a good program, although I don't understand all
its controls yet. You just let it capture the audio stream for as
long as you want, then stop it, and then export the captured audio
to a folder in any format you choose (I picked AIFF because Final
Cut likes AIFF, and I sometimes use music in my videos). Most of
the Audacity controls appear to be for editing the audio. But I
have an old copy of Sound Studio that I can use for that, and I'm
comfortable with Sound Studio from long use. Anything I export from
Audacity can be imported into Sound Studio for any necessary
editing (such as separating out the various pieces of music in the
captured stream, etc).
I see a lot of votes for Hijack Pro, so I'll go check that out too,
at least if they have a free version (I'm not averse to paying for
a good program, but if Audacity is a typical free one, then these
freebies appear to be pretty capable).
If anyone has tried Audacity and can compare it to other apps, that
would be useful to me also.
Again, thanks much for the help.This is a great group!
