How to Easily Record Streaming Music without Quality Loss

Thanks to the easy-to-use audio recording software, we can record any sound play on computers as we like. And there are many free audio recorders like Audacity, Ardour, etc. that can meet our basic recording requirements. But here in this post, we are not going to discuss the freeware as they always come with limits in recording functions. If you are just seeking for a powerful streaming audio recorder to capture music online at low price, the following tutorial will give you some hints.

Best Audio Recorder to Record Streaming Music Losslessly

When capturing audio, the biggest consideration you may worry about would probably be the audio quality, right? Generally speaking, unlike the direct downloading, recording audios is more likely to cause quality loss during the process. Besides, if your computer makes a noise while recording a music track, then the interference will also be captured into the track too. But don’t worry. The streaming audio capture we are going to share here has perfectly solved the above concerns. The program is called TunesKit Audio Capture for Mac/Windows. Unlike most other audio recorders that adopt traditional recording technology, this top leading streaming audio recording software can not only grab any streaming audio online with almost lossless quality, but also automatically capture all tracks individually, meaning you can capture multiple streaming music tracks simultaneously play on different programs and all the recordings will divide into independent tracks without mixing together. Besides, with this handy streaming audio recorder, you can record and save the audio from Internet to your computer and other devices in MP3, AAC, WAV, FLAC, and other commonly used formats.

TunesKit Audio Capture is fully compatible with the latest Windows and macOS. You can download the free trial version and follow the step-by-step tutorial as below to begin capturing online audio on your computer in seconds.
