Record music or audio playing in any browser tab, window, or your system, and save it as a high-quality MP3. No app to install, no account, no time limit. It's free, and nothing ever leaves your browser.
Talk is cheap, so instead of just claiming "high quality," we recorded an actual song through Lightning Downloader — a genuinely difficult source to capture cleanly — and pulled the real audio measurements afterward rather than taking it on faith:
A lot of audio worth keeping only exists as a stream — this exists for the gap between "I want this as a file" and "I don't want to pay a monthly fee to get it."
Open Lightning Downloader, click the share button, then pick the tab, window, or screen playing the music or audio in your browser's own sharing dialog — make sure "Share tab audio" or "Share system audio" is checked. Once the source is ready, click Start Recording.
MP3 at 320kbps, encoded locally in your browser right after you stop recording — no separate conversion step.
No. Recording, MP3 encoding, and playback all happen locally in your browser. Nothing is sent to a server — the file only exists on your device until you download it.
Yes, completely. Recording is free and unlimited, with no account required and no time limit. There is nothing to buy.
Yes, if the tab is playing audible sound, this tool captures it like any other tab audio — but you're responsible for only recording content you have the right to record, under that service's own terms.
There's no hard technical cap — length is limited by your device's available memory, not a limit set by this tool.
No — the recorder keeps running and simply captures silence while the source is paused. Stop and restart manually if you want a clean cut.
