Hi. Personally I perfer to use an audio recorder to record audio that is playing on my computer regardless of resources. That is to say if I can hear audio through computer sound card, I can record audio by this audio recorder. It is easy to use and will save me much time. Moreover, it can record MP3 audio from websites directly and then convert it to WMA, WAV, M4A, AAC, OGG, etc onto my PC, iPod, iPad, etc.
