Part 1: How to Record Streaming Audio Mac with QuickTime Player<\/strong><\/h2>\n
If you only prefer to record audio with the external devices, then Apple\u2019s default media player \u2013 QuickTime Player would be your best option. Actually, QuickTime Player is not only a video player, it could also record the screen audio or internet audio or FaceTime audio<\/a>. But if you prefer to record the internal audio, such as the streaming audio on Mac, more steps would be needed so as to obtain the audio. If you would like to know more about how to record audio on Mac with QuickTime Player, please refer to the following steps. <\/p>\n

<\/a><\/div>\n\nSteps:<\/p>\n
- \n
- Launch QuickTime Player on your Mac. It is installed by default. If you can\u2019t see the app on the main screen, you can hit Command + Space to locate the app on your Mac. <\/li>\n
- On the main screen of QuickTime Player, click the File button, then you can choose New Audio Recording option.<\/li>\n
- Enter the recording panel, behind the red REC button, you can click the drop-down button then choose your preferred device to record audio. Here it means, you can only record audio once you have prepared an external recording device if you would like to record audio with QuickTime.<\/li>\n
- Start recording the audio. Before recording, you should go the streaming webpage and play the audio files you would like to record. Then, tap the REC button if you are ready. If you have completed the recording, tap the red button again to stop the recording and the audio file would be saved on your Mac. <\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<\/div>\n
Part 2: How to Record Streaming Audio Mac with Soundflower <\/strong><\/h2>\n
As the default media player for Mac, QuickTime Player could only meet some basic requirements. If you would like to further edit the recording, or you would like to record the internal audio or streaming audios directly without any external recording devices, a third-party recording program would be needed here. Though Apple has provided no preset solution for Mac users to record streaming audio or Internet radio<\/a> on Mac, QuickTime Player could actually complete this with the help of certain plugin called Soundflower, a free Mac extension that allows programs to pass audio to other applications. It acts as an audio device, which allows programs to send or receive audio from it without any other support. <\/p>\n
Step 1: <\/span>Download Soundflower<\/a> and install this program by opening the .dmg file and following the on-screen instructions on your Mac computer.<\/p>\n
<\/a><\/div>\nStep 2: <\/span>Once Soundflower is successfully installed, visit the Sound tab in your System Preferences again. Click on \"Soundflower (2ch)\" on the \"Output\" section of Sound settings panel. Now your computer is outputting all of its audio through the Soundflower (2ch) extension. (The only downside is that you will not be able to hear audio through your speakers as long as this is selected.)<\/p>\n
<\/a><\/div>\nStep 3: <\/span>Now open QuickTime Player and click on File > New Audio Recording. Click the little arrow on the side of the QuickTime window. Under the microphone section, click on \"Soundflower (2ch)\". After that, click the red button and play internet streaming audio files to start recording on Mac.<\/p>\n
<\/a><\/div>\nWhen you\u2019re done and you want to hear audio through your speakers again, go back to System Preferences>Sound>Output, and click on \"Internal Speakers\". Your audio will now play through your internal speakers again.<\/p>\n
