I made a mistake in spelling my email when I purchased Audio Hijack. When I tried to correct it, I never came anywhere near getting a person to correct the mistake. All I get is "Paddle" a bot with yesterday's technological expertise. I have wasted an hour on this bot, and no results yet. If you want support for this product, don't count on Paddle. I have used this software for yours, and there used to be someone answering the occasional question. Now I have purchased the latest version, I find that all the real people have disappeared. Don't rely on this group if you are going to have questions (or even have to change you email)!

When it comes to products of rogueamoeba, I never think twice before upgrading. This company has always developed handy applications that I use in my daily work and am extremely pleased with their performance. I’ve found the new Audio Hijack very intuitive and its performance has improved by leaps and bounds. Recording is now a breeze with the new presets of its main functions and meets many users’ needs without further tweaking. Last but not least, the dreaded icon of its precious version has been modified into an elegant icon that makes it more feasible. This is surely one of the best upgrades I’ve ever seen and highly recommend it. Fariborz AMIRSHAHI – Verona (Italy)

When Nicecast ended, Audio Hijack was recommended and so I bought it. I just assumed it would work like Nicecast but it doesn't and you'll need a separate streaming app to share your broadcasts. I'm frankly disappointed and feel a bit misled. I'm now using Audiomovers because it's simple like Nicecast was and works right out of the box.

An audio capture app that doesn't capture audio. For whatever reason it just doesn't work on my mac. Well, it worked once. Now it won't record anything after setting up a new session and pressing the record button. I updated it, rebooted, followed their quite simple tutorial. Nothing.

Does Audio Hijack no longer allow Quick Time Player 10.5 to play DRM files?
