Record any tab into a MP3 which you can download. New and improved version 2 which conforms to Google's best practices. Give it a try!

Chrome Audio Capture is a Chrome extension that allows users to record any audio playing on the current tab. Multiple tabs can be recorded simultaneously. Recordings can be saved as either .mp3 or .wav files. Users will have the option to mute tabs that are currently being recorded.

To begin recording on a tab simply click on the extension icon and use the interface or hotkeys to start and stop the recording. Once the recording is stopped or when the time limit is reached, a new tab will be opened for you to save and name your audio file. Make sure to save your file before closing the tab, otherwise the file will be lost! Check the options page for different output file formats and other features!

If you enjoyed the extension, please leave a review on the extension page! Please report any bugs or suggestions using the support tab of the extension page.

Note: Currently recordings are limited to 60 minutes due to Chrome memory constraints. Limit can be bypassed, but it is not recommended as more testing is required to determine the maximum time.

I can be able to do the start and save and also saving the file in the respective directory. But when am using the latest update crx file, I can be able to start the capture, when I click the save capture, its again going back to the start capture instead of showing the save file options.
