How can I record the sound output from programs in windows 7? [closed]

I would like to record the sound output from specific programs in windows 7. On osx I'm aware of programs called audiohijack and soundflower. I'd like to find something similar.

Solution 1:

I love and swear by audacity. I use it all the time for recording sound output. It should work for you, too.

Solution 2:

What you want is Total Recorder by High Criteria. I've been using it for years and have been very happy with it. Good support as well. I should also mention that in addition to being run interactively (in a window), it can be launched via the command line as well. I use it to record some weekly radio shows that I'm rarely home for and use the Task Scheduler to launch it, specifying the length of recording, etc. A very handy feature.

Supports XP, Vista, and Windows 7. Their upgrade policy is very liberal.
