Nowadays, users find it easy to access almost any kind of media (music, videos, etc.) through the help of various streaming services.

Discussion

At first glance, Audials One 2017 flaunts a well-designed user interface that offers different viewing and resizing options. Simply put, you can customize it based on how you want it to appear on your screen. It also leaves enough room for multi-tasking which is great especially if you’re a Windows 10 user.

On top of that, the entire process of setting it up is easy which makes it ideal for any user. You’ll be guided properly so just make sure to read and follow the steps shown on the installation wizard.

While it does take time for you to fully figure out all the functionalities that the said software can do, getting started with it is easy. You just go through the basics such as searching for music or listening to a radio station. Once you get the gist of it, you can start exploring the rest of its features like its recording tool, media manager and universal converter.

Speaking of which, one of the features that really stands out in Audials One 2017 is its ability to record not only music and videos but also audio books and songs from radio stations. With Generation 2017, Audials has made it even easier to automatically detect and record music and videos from various websites and online media libraries. Unlike other media recording tools, this software can record media from basically anywhere. Just make sure to choose the correct recording configuration.

Other than that, Audials One 2017 now features more music discoveries through its Top Songs feature via Music Search. Just choose a genre or artist you like and Audials will automatically generate a playlist based on your preference. This is good especially if you’re having a party or hosting an event. Just load and play the playlist you like instead of spending lots of time creating one.

On another note, the universal converter serves as a good compliment to the comprehensive features of Audials One 2017. It supports a wide range of input and output formats which makes it easier for you to play your favourite music and videos on any platform or device.

All in all, the Generation 2017 of Audials One offers new and improved features that were obviously lacking from its predecessors. It is a comprehensive tool for your multimedia needs. It’s more than just a software that collects music and video files from different sources. As for drawbacks, there is nothing that is really worthy of mention but users with slow Internet might encounter issues related to buffering media. Hence, this is why having a stable DSL Internet access is required. It should also be noted that Audials One 2017 is a paid software that offers a demo version.

Conclusion and Download Link

If you are looking for a good software that can do almost anything from playing media files to recording music and videos, Audials One 2017 is definitely worth a try.

It’s just that with Audials One, you get all Audials functions in just one software so it’s totally worth the price. Could it still be improved?
