You can record just about about any application\u2019s audio output, or just record the system audio itself. If I want to grab some audio from a Youtube video I\u2019ll just hit record and then hit play. It makes audio \u2014 not just what you have as files but any audio you can even play \u2014 available with a copy paste workflow. <\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" src=\"https:\/\/kk.org\/cooltools\/files\/2018\/12\/dysonvacuum-e1546026995350.jpg\" alt=\"dysonvacuum\" width=\"500\" height=\"500\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-32802\" \/><br \/>\n<a href=\"https:\/\/amzn.to\/2GJwi0N\" rel=\"noopener\" target=\"_blank\">Dyson V7 Cordless Vacuum Cleaner<\/a> ($241)<br \/>\nI bought this vacuum last year and it\u2019s the first consumer product since the iPhone that I\u2019ve felt was so essential that I\u2019d pay basically whatever they asked for it. Also, it wall mounts very securely in a way that I wished everything I hang up daily just clipped into place.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" src=\"https:\/\/kk.org\/cooltools\/files\/2018\/12\/appletv-e1546027016519.jpeg\" alt=\"appletv\" width=\"500\" height=\"497\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-32801\" \/><br \/>\n<a href=\"https:\/\/www.apple.com\/tv\/\" rel=\"noopener\" target=\"_blank\">Apple TV<\/a> ($180)<br \/>\nI use Airplay constantly. It really appeals to me as a technology and Apple TV is at the center of my living room. I\u2019ve maintained a big stash of mp3s and movies for a long period of my life and have gone through a gazillion ways of playing them back, Apple TV is where I landed. I also like the app <a href=\"https:\/\/beamer-app.com\/\" rel=\"noopener\" target=\"_blank\">Beamer<\/a> for sending movies to Apple TV. I\u2019ve been sending my Apple TV sound to my Airpods recently after my family goes to sleep.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" src=\"https:\/\/kk.org\/cooltools\/files\/2018\/12\/ifixit.jpg\" alt=\"ifixit\" width=\"350\" height=\"350\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-32803\" srcset=\"https:\/\/kk.org\/cooltools\/files\/2018\/12\/ifixit.jpg 350w, https:\/\/kk.org\/cooltools\/files\/2018\/12\/ifixit-150x150.jpg 150w, https:\/\/kk.org\/cooltools\/files\/2018\/12\/ifixit-300x300.jpg 300w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 350px) 100vw, 350px\" \/><br \/>\n<a href=\"https:\/\/www.ifixit.com\/Store\/Tools\/Essential-Electronics-Toolkit\/IF145-348-2\" rel=\"noopener\" target=\"_blank\">iFixIt Essential Electronics Toolkit<\/a> ($20)<br \/>\nI was going to list this little synthesizer I have called the OP-1 but they\u2019re not selling them right, so when mine broke I had to open it up and put in a replacement headphone jack. I bought this little toolkit from iFixIt that had the part and a handful of tools, the most useful of which is the \u201cspudger.\u201d I\u2019ve ended up using this kit several times since then, including repairing a Minidisc player last week in order to get one audio file off a decade old Minidisc.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Also mentioned:<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/medium.com\/s\/cointalk\" rel=\"noopener\" target=\"_blank\">Coin Talk podcast<\/a><br \/>\nCome ride the crypto rollercoaster with hosts Aaron Lammer and Jay Kang (and guests) as they laugh their way through the week in Bitcoin and beyond.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/www.stoner.co\/\" rel=\"noopener\" target=\"_blank\">Stoner podcast<\/a><br \/>\nA podcast where creative people talk about their experiences with marijuana.<\/p>\n<p><em>We have hired professional editors to help create our weekly podcasts and video reviews.
