iTunes is also set to automatically update this particular playlist with my iPod. One is sent to a Master playlist of all Audio Hijack recordings I make – smart playlist with “Audio Hijack” in the comments – and another playlist takes in the last Breakfast Show I recorded. I have Smart Playlists in iTunes that push this new file into a variety of different playlists. Now, once the broadcast is recorded it will automatically open iTunes and add it to its library. (More on that soon.) On this window also select “Add to iTunes” in the scripts pull down menu. This becomes really handy when you integrate your recorded music within iTunes and an iPod. Instead of having to remember where you last left off, iTunes does this automatically. Audiobooks and a long broadcast such is the Breakfast show aren’t always played in one go. For those who don’t know, Bookmarkable files was a feature added to iTunes when it started to sell and play AudioBooks. For this broadcast I always choose 192kbps AAC (Bookmarkable) as this gives me a good sound format and also always me to make the file Bookmarkable. You can choose from a list of different formats within AHP.

This is a wonderful feature within AHP as it actually reads Real Players bookmarks and list them.

AHP has its own set of features which enables it to launch programs, tune them into specific Internet broadcasts and then record them.Ī real life example for recorded broadcast is what I do every weekday, as I record the breakfast show from BBC Radio 1 which is broadcasted live each weekday, or Sunday through Thursday evenings here in California.

Its main purpose is to digitalize it into a file on your hard drive before it sends it back to CoreAudio to output to the speakers, or it can mute it so no one can hear it. This allows a program like AHP to access CoreAudio before it sends its signal in or out, hijack it, and then manipulate it in any way it likes.

Technically, OS X – the operating system on the Mac – uses a technology called CoreAudio to handle all the audio that goes in and out of your Macintosh. Firstly the word hijack is very appropriate here because the application literally hijacks the audio broadcast from your Macintosh.
