AudialsOne 8, the latest version of AudialsOne, is released few days back. We were very impressed by the earlier version of AudialsOne 4. Let me first give you some overview about what AudialsOne is capable of. AudialsOne gives you instant access to over 50,000 Internet radio stations along with millions of songs, international video, music and podcast portals. It offers unbeatable capabilities for targeting and downloading unlimited quantities of the free entertainment you’re looking for.

After we got our hands on the latest version, the first thing that we did was check out what is new and what has improved since our previous review. We noticed a lot of improvements in the program that can be seen spread throughout the user-interface, the way it records multimedia content like songs, video, podcasts, and remove DRM from media.

Installation

Installation procedure is very simple for AudialsOne 8. It also provides the option to install it as a regular program or do a portable install. It is a nice option if you want to carry AudialsOne with you in a USB flash drive. Definitely a boon for portable application users.

Features

After the installation is completed, which we noticed took less time then the earlier version of AudialsOne, we launched AudialsOne and just like earlier versions, AudialsOne greeted us by showing the splash screen.

The user-interface feels much more polished than earlier versions and now accessing different functions are lot more easy for end-users, as you can see from the screenshot below:

As you can see above, the first tab that is default is the Radio tab. If you don’t want to waste any time and want to record some music from your favourite genre, simply select your genre of choice and click on the Start Recording button. If you have your favorite internet radio station in mind, from which you want to record, simply click on the Stations button. Select the radio station and click on the Record button present at the top of the Manage Stations window. Scheduling is also possible by clicking on the Schedule button. You can also Favor, Delete, Ban or visit the radio stations website from this window. If you have a manual list of Radio Stations, you can also import that using the Load button.

You can use the Search tab to search for music or videos of a particular artist or song.

One of the most notable feature of AudialsOne, also present in the earlier version, is the WishList. Using Wishlist, you can search the web or your local music collection for music and videos by artists that you have specified. You can compile several wish lists, and switch between them. AudialsOne saves all your wish lists automatically and records music of the selected artists automatically.

Capture is the new proper name given to the tab Web. As the name suggests you can capture media from the web as you browse sites like Last.Fm, Pandora, YouTube, etc from your browser. If you are a fan of Podcasts, AudialsOne comes with a very powerful Podcast support. You can subscribe from an already extensive list of Podcasts or add your own.

AudialsOne 8′s Converter tab is what you should be looking for if you want to DRM free your media. It is very powerful and accurately removes DRM from media while keeping the quality intact. You can remove DRM from AudioBooks, DVDs and other media.

Other improved features of AudialsOne 8 are Organizer, Media Converter. You can organize all your multimedia files and categorize them into Artists and Genres. You can let AudialsOne automatically reorganize all your media. Using the latest version you can even import and export from the Cloud Storage, Esnips.com, MP3Tunes and TunesBag. It also includes a ring-tone creator, if you want to create ring-tones for your mobile device. The in-built burner allows you to burn tracks to a disc.

Ease of Use

AudialsOne 8 is fully feature packed and it has improved a lot since the earlier version. Everything is well laid out and is just a click away. Even though AudialsOne comes packed with so many functions, still its very easy to use, thanks to the well thought design of the user interface. It allows you to easily find millions of streaming music and video from around the web to view, listen to or download to your local drive. On the fly conversion of the downloaded media is also a plus.

Performance

We can easily find a notable performance improvement from the earlier version of AudialsOne.

Support

RapidSolution Software offers free customer support for AudialsOne through a variety of channels that includes FAQ, a dedicated forum for each of their products and email support answered within three working days.

Conclusion

AudialsOne is still one of our favorite online media downloader and recording solution. With the latest avatar, we are very happy to see the improvements done to it. This time we will award AudialsOne 8 a rating of 4.5 out of 5.

Discount Code

AudialsOne 8 Exclusive Giveaway

We are also going to held a giveaway of the latest version of AudialsOne 8. More details about the giveaway will be published in our next article. The giveaway is live now. Visit AudialsOne 8 Giveaway page here.

Mediaraptor is a superb application that can find millions of music videos and songs from social media websites for you. It can then record and convert the music video, or simply find the MP3 format of the song, depending on its search results. It can then convert them, according to your choice, in a more portable formats or in standard WMV and MP3 format. Unlike Tunebite and Radiotracker, the two other products from Audials, Mediaraptor is pretty much very useful out of the box. Mediaraptor can save video tracks from several social media sources, including MySpace, Esnips.com, YouTube, Hulu, and others.

On starting Mediaraptor, you will find the user interface quite similar as seen in Tunebite, Radiotracker, and the ultimate of them all, AudialsOne, divided into two parts.

On the left, you can search for the artists whose songs you want to convert and save the files and Mediaraptor will automatically fetch and tag your files correctly from the Internet. You can also create a Wishlist to simultaneously watch a thousands of internet radio stations. You can also record media content directly from the browser as you surf the media sources.

On the right, you will find an in-built media player to play your recorded media, that also displays you lyrics, cover art and other details. You can easily burn your media files to a CD, create ringtones for your phone, and export the file to play in an external player like Winamp, iTunes and Windows Media Player. You can also synchronize your portable media players.

You will also find the Organize feature that we have seen in the other products of Audials. When you click on Organize you will be able to manage your music and video collection present on the computer easily. You can reorganize all your media files with just a few clicks. You can easily add correct ID3 tags, cover album, song lyrics, and other details to your existing media collection.

Mediaraptor is the best app for the music lovers to fill up their hard drive with tons of music and videos downloaded straight from the social media sources, and organize them too.

Unfortunately, there is a bit of legal ambiguity when using Mediaraptor. Mediaraptor is a very powerful app and it’s ability to find MP3 files that others may have illegally posted to social network sites is the main cause of concern here. You can be safe if you keep in mind while using Mediaraptor that even though it may find these illegal MP3 files too while searching, but you’re not supposed to download those files to your own PC. To stay on the right side of the law, just use Mediaraptor to grab the official music videos from places like YouTube and ignore the MP3 side of this app. For more information about the legal aspects of using Mediaraptor, please read here.

Mediaraptor is available in three versions:

• Mediaraptor Free that can record up to 40 tracks or videos per session and convert them to MP3 or WMV, respectively. You can use it for free without registration.
• Mediaraptor Premium which can grab an unlimited amount of music from social media sites and video clips from places like YouTube and retails for $27.
• Mediaraptor Platinum that can do targeted searches and multiple file format conversions, available for $40.
• Finally, if you want the joint functionality of Radiotracker, Tunebite and Mediaraptor, you should go for AudialsOne, retails for $60.
