TapeDeck is a new audio recorder exclusively for Mac OS X 10.5, designed with a quick-capture workflow in mind. You're never more than a single mouse click (or keystroke) away from making a new recording, which are called, unsurprisingly, “tapes.” TapeDeck records directly to compressed MP4-AAC audio, making it equally useful for quick high-fidelity samples or hours and hours of lecture.
As you can see, TapeDeck was designed to emulate a real cassette tape recorder (perhaps you have a similar model in your basement), but with a few key differences:

What's New
Version 1.4.2:
- In rare instances, TapeDeck would fail to record unless the MONO and STEREO modes were changed. This is no longer the case.
- When starting up in MONO mode, and STEREO mode is enabled, the level meter no longer shows a full volume signal on the right channel.
- Various fixes to the YouTube Upload feature.
Requirements
PPC / Intel, Mac OS X 10.5 or later.

Of course, TapeDeck improves on the traditional tape recorder in a number of ways:
To record with TapeDeck, you must have a built-in microphone, use device plugged into your Mac's line-in port (such as a microphone, record player, etc.), or another audio input device (USB input, Bluetooth headset, etc.).
As you can see, TapeDeck was designed to emulate a real cassette tape recorder (perhaps you have a similar model in your basement), but with a few key differences:
- Every recording you ever make is immediately saved in the box of Tapes.
- You cannot record over an existing tape; clicking Record automatically starts a new tape for you.
Of course, TapeDeck improves on the traditional tape recorder in a number of ways:
- In much the same way that digital cameras made film “free,” TapeDeck makes tapes “free”: you'll never run out of tape (until you run out of disk space).
- TapeDeck's recording quality is far better than that of an audiocassette. You can adjust the recording quality to trade file size for recording length.
- An audiocassette has a label (where you can write a little bit) and a case liner (where you can write a lot). TapeDeck has these too, but they're full-text searchable.
- Tapes are standard .m4a audio files, so you can copy them into iTunes and synchronize them with your iPod, or email tapes to others.

I'll never understand why some developers deliberately exclude themselves from sales to a significant portion of the Mac market, i.e. buyers who have remained with OSX 4.11.

Just my 2 cents.

Just FYI, all three of the Macs in our household are running 10.4.11, though two of them are more than capable of running Leopard, and we have Leopard installer discs that came with our daughter's new iMac.

So it would seem, I agree. The thing that we just don't know is whether the developer may be using some aspects of Leopard's code/capabilities that do not exist in Tiger.

Next there will be some crank on here who's mad that there's no OS 9 version.
I perfectly understand that some people are reluctant to upgrade the OS until after the bugs are spotted and quashed and all the programs have been updated to accommodate the changes. That is normal, and rational, behaviour.
But two years later, now you're just being cheap (or you have a machine that can't go beyond Tiger). Stop whining about developers that are working in the present just because YOU are stuck in the past. Live with what you've got or get with the program. If you don't like rapid, ongoing change, you probably shouldn't be using a computer at all.

My one beef with the software has been resolved by a video they posted on their web site. Like the previous reviewer, my main objective with TapeDeck is to capture a stream of internet radio content. The video showed me how to do that. And as I write this, I'm recording Radio Paradise to one of the "tapes." Just drag the tape to iTunes, plop it onto your iPod, hop on an airplane, and you've got hours of entertainment to distract you from the pathetic lack of legroom, absence of food, and the 3-year-old kicking the back of your seat.
I gave TapeDeck a rating of 5 because it does its job perfectly. For a version 1.0 product, it's well-conceived, intelligently executed, and rock solid. The only thing that could be improved is the necessity to download an ancillary system utility called Soundflower that directs the sound to the TapeDeck application. It would be nice if this capability were built in to TapeDeck instead of requiring a separate download and setup. But it's a very, very small quibble, and takes nothing away from the fact that this program's capability is the answer to my prayers.

As-is, this is a great easy tool for musicians and vocal recording, voiceovers, practicing and podcasting, so if they add the ability to record audio off the net I think they've got a really solid product here.

Clever idea and an interesting UI.
