Focused recording from the music app
Select the active Spotify or Music app as the source. CAT records the selected app so other Mac sounds are not automatically included in the same recording.
Spotify and Apple Music as a source
Record the selected music app and keep tracks separate.
CAT can use Spotify or Apple Music as its source and follow supported metadata during recording for separate exports.
Follow current track information
During a normal recording, CAT checks available metadata from the supported player. A confirmed track change is the primary signal for completing a segment.
Only record audio you are allowed to use
Only record audio you created, licensed or are otherwise legally permitted to capture and store.
In practice

Frequently asked questions
The short version.
Does CAT control my music player automatically?
Not during normal use. Targeted playback control only occurs after a direct action from you in CAT.
Can I record all streamed music?
No. Rights and service terms still apply. Only use CAT for audio you are legally allowed to record and store.
