Record and extract MP3 audio from Spotify & Apple Podcasts

Build your podcast archive on Mac and Windows

If you want to listen to interesting podcasts during a flight, while spending time in the wilderness, or simply while taking a break from your phone, you are in the right place. RiverScript Desktop client can extract podcast audio from any source and save it as an MP3 using Live Recording. It works on both Mac and Windows PCs and records your computer's internal audio as a local file. You can then transfer your podcasts to an iPod or another audio player and listen without staring at your smartphone screen.

It does not matter where your favorite podcasts are available – Apple Podcasts, Spotify, SoundCloud, Twitch, or another platform. It also does not matter whether you listen through a dedicated app or in your browser. RiverScript Desktop client can record and save full podcasts or individual episodes. It can also record audio from live streams and YouTube videos. Download RiverScript Desktop client from the download page and build your own podcast archive for offline listening. For help installing it on your computer, see our guides for Windows and Mac.

RiverScript Desktop client can do more than grab audio from a podcast – it can also turn it into text. This is useful when you want to quickly skim through the conversation or find a specific quote from an interview guest. You can also get a podcast transcript with timestamps and separate speaker segments labeled with each participant's name.
