More Skype Recording Options
I've been looking for a solid way to have a full backup of any podcast recording I do, and SkypeCap might be just the thing:
SkypeCap records audio conversations you have using the Skype Voice over IP (VoIP) service to MP4 audio file. You can save sessions for later use and playback
It's OS X software, which is what I need. Right now, I record my end of the call, and Michael records his - and then I mix it all together at the end. If Audacity crashes though, I have a mess (and that happened to me a few weeks back). I might have to give this a look.

I don't understand why you Americans are so insensitive to giving up your civil rights

from the SkypeCap website: "Only you will know that the audio or video sessions are being recorded.". Stealth recording of conversations is a severe breach of civil rights: it is damaging your rights for privacy and free speech. But an American company can advertize its product freely with calling a breach of your civil rights a feature? And, you are excited!
Strange. IMO a lawsuit would be more appropriate.
At least for me, besides their terms and conditions, another good reason to not use Skype. Thank you for pointing me to it.

Note that I said I wanted to use it for podcasts - where recording the conversation is not only understood, but kind of the point :)
I never meant to suggest you would want to use it maliciously

Jim, I hope you know that! Apologies if anyone should have misinterpreted my comment.
