Hope your version of iTunes does a better job of conversion to MP3  
than mine does...in my experience the encoder in iTunes is a rotten,  
artifact-inflicting P.O.S. compared to the LAME encoder. I use the  
AAC encoder (MP4) in iTunes, which is fine, but if I'm doing an MP3 I  
use LAME within Sound Studio. (At home I greatly prefer uncompressed  
AIFF or WAV files, and for storage/archiving I compress with the  
Apple Lossless encoder -- for now...)

More to the topic -- spyware concerns notwithstanding, this free MP3  
recorder seems quite similar in concept to the WireTap software from  
Ambrosia (but that is Mac-only software, I believe). I would agree  
with "Banjo Bud" that you're better off with Audacity and LAME.

Take care,


Joe
