Audials One 2018 is still the complete solution for capturing radio channel content, songs, and videos from the internet at large. Read our review to find out why.
It pretty much works in exactly the same way as last year’s version, but better. Audials One 2018 is a real case of evolution not revolution, and it’s all the better for it. It’s still the great experience and fun it was to use last year, and the new features only add to the software.
In short, Audials is now faster, easier to use and more powerful than ever before.
Search and collect
Well, in real terms, Audials One is basically an online search engine that allows you to search for and collect free versions of music and video on the internet, just for you. While new users may initially be overwhelmed by the sheer number of choices available to them when they load Audials One, the interface looks good, and the learning curve is quite shallow. Controlling Audials One is intuitive and the process for getting exactly what you want is logical and straightforward. Features are also organized in a clear and crisp way.
Record the internet?
Yep. You can literally record from any streaming audio source available on the net. Audials One also gives you access to listen to over 100,000 internet radio stations across the globe. And if you find a song you want to record, just hit the record button.
You can also search through radio stations to find specific songs or audio, and you can choose whether you want to then download it in a video or audio format. You can also set Audials One to only show search results for music and audio of specific qualities, which is a nice touch.
Nice features that deserves a special mention?
Yes.
Audials also functions as a universal converter for literally all audio and video file formats on PC, smart phone, tablets, netbooks, notebooks, ultrabooks, games consoles and other devices. But that’s not all. Music, audio books, videos and films can also be converted to pretty much any format going, quickly and with lossless quality.
But what’s new?
Well it’s faster, and that’s always a good thing. But a particular highlight is the addition of the Audials Home function, which you can use as your new command center. It’s a bit like the old ‘Windows Media’ editions you used to see from Microsoft back in the day but with the exception that it actually works really well. It’s convenient, easy to use, and the ‘smart’ search function works really well.
The already expansive radio database has been expanded even further, and utilities a new way to display station logos, which is a big improvement from last year. The station search function is also now faster when directing you to a specific radio station.
Audials One 2018 also utilities a unique way to find, listen, record songs and entire discographies from all of your preferred genres.
Conclusions.
Really, really good. But it’s not free. You can also try it out free for 30 days, right here from Filehippo.com.
