Audio Hijack just records whatever your Mac is playing to a file. It never hits the analog domain, but it is exactly what is in the file. You then recompress the resulting AIFF file into MP3, AAC, FLAC, whatever you want. Keep in mind that recompressing an audio file that has already been compressed with lossy audio will further degrade the sound.

There are programs for streaming MP3 files that record the actual MP3 bitstream straight to an MP3 file with no recompression. You end up with the exact file that the shoutcast server read in, bit for bit, even with most ID3 tags intact.
