Audials AudialsOne4 Review


There is so many different music and audio programs available today on Internet radio that it is a little overwhelming. AudialsOne is a program that can record songs and programs right off of Internet radio so you can listen to them later. It also includes features like helping you discover new content and artists.

All you have to do is select a genre and AudialsOne records several tracks from different stations belonging to that genre simultaneously. Various stations can be recorded at the same time, but a draw back is that only one genre can be recorded at a time. If you prefer a particular station it can be added to your favorites and can be recorded all the time. The same goes for a station if you dislike it, it can be banned and never recorded again.

If your favorite station isn’t listed, AudialsOne will use a web browser or try to find it off iTunes to intercept and record audio stream from another program. Audio is not the only thing this program records, AudialsOne can even record videos off of YouTube and podcasts.

You can also be specific for artists instead of genres. The program will monitor the huge database and search for your favorite artist and record only those tracks. This Wishlist system for artists is different from the genre lists, here you can have as many Wishlists as you want. The program automatically gives you all of the artists and album information and will format tracks to your choice of AAC or MP4.

A fallback is its cluttered interface, you’ll have to get used to some of the icons and buttons and some are poorly labeled.

This is quite a useful program for discovering new music.
