Oct 4, 2022
  • Many interesting and helpful functions to record music radio stations easier and faster

New in Audials Radio 2017.0.30797.9700 (Feb 9, 2017)

  • 10 times More Monitored Radios Boost your Music Supply!
  • Only the six-time software-of-year in the category music Audials One has a wishlist with which you can automatically record your music from the best Internet radios in a targeted manner. This has always existed only with Audials and is now however with 10 times as many radios in the monitoring much better!
  • Raise the Roof with Top Songs and Wishlists:
  • There's no diet here! Dig in to more radio, more charts and more music!
  • Before we get to the quality innovations, let's first talk about the numbers involved in the new Audials Generation 2017. There's music from 3,000,000 different artists, 1,450,000 of which have their full discography available right now! There are 12,000,000 songs, plus everything that music portals and other video sharing sites have to offer in the form of music videos! And there's a lot more:
  • New Top Songs Feature for your Music Wishes
  • Tell Audials your music taste (by giving it a reference song, for example) and Top Songs will create a playlist of songs that match your taste via the music search. You can play and download the hits individually or grab them all at once. And it works for music videos, too. This means you can get plenty of new music from Audials in a matter of minutes. Top Songs also works if you select a specific genre or artist.
  • Climbers, Popular Tracks or Evergreens? You Decide!
  • You can decide whether you want the latest hits, popular tracks or evergreens from a particular genre. You can also narrow your selection even further by specifying the release year.
  • What's Better than the Audials Charts? Even More Audials Charts!
  • The new software brings you the latest monthly Audials charts as well as all of the past charts for free, with 80 more added every month! This means plenty of top 10 hits from the rock charts, US music video charts, pop music charts, dance charts, US single charts, and 80s charts are now available at the push of a button as well as newcomer recommendations from Audials. With all of this music, you'll never be bored again!
  • Songs in the highest quality!
  • Audials 2017 now provides studio versions of your music wishes from connected music portals or via smart radio recording. There are no live recordings, no presenters and no adverts – just crystal clear recordings like you used to get from a CD. Audials also gives you additional versions of a song as usual, of course, but the best version is now always the first thing you see!
  • Getting Music from One Wishlist is Great, but Several Wishlists at Once is Even Better!
  • And now for the main course. With several wishlists at once, the new Audials Radiotracker 2017 can satisfy even the greediest of music fans. Simply create your first wishlist, maybe add the monthly Audials charts and another wishlist from the community and - voilà - your own personal menu is created and the best Internet radio stations are served.
  • Music Wishes now better than ever – clearer and easier to use!
  • We have already pre-selected the best settings in Audials to enable you to get the best music. This means all of your music wishes are fulfilled as quickly as possible and in the best quality! This is what we stand for and is the reason we also offer a money-back guarantee if you do not like our product. Of course, you can still change individual settings, but they are no longer as prominent as before. Instead, they are shown discreetly in a single background window. You now also get information on songs that are currently recording, songs that are still missing, and wishes that have already been fulfilled. Audials automatically generates a playlist for every fulfilled wishlist, and you can immediately find every hit in the Media Center with a simple click.
  • Check Out the New Music Wishes Function in this Slideshow! You'll be Amazed!
  • A picture is worth a thousand words. We could spend a lot of time explaining all of the other things that improve your Audials experience, but you can just click on the button instead and enjoy the show! The table provided a compact summary of the functions shown in the slideshow.
  • Music Wishes - New and Improved:
  • Higher quality results with new Audials server power
  • Fulfill several music wishes at once
  • Many simplified functions due to new user interface
  • Everything in one place: Job settings for fulfilling wishes now grouped together
  • Different versions of a song can now be wished for as audio and/or video
  • New Audials notifications keep you informed as your wish is being fulfilled
  • Wishlists are now saved to your user profile and can be used from a different Audials PC

New in Audials Radio 2016 14.0.37304.400 (Sep 14, 2015)

  • System: Existing Auto-Update Functions of the Predecessors:
  • For all generations of Audials Windows software to date, the databases for internet radio stations, music search plug-ins, podcasts, music TV stations, artist discographies, ID3 tags with album images as well as the music universe artist images will be maintained by the Audials team at various intervals and updated for in Audials software automatically in the background. With your unique Audials software license or Audials subscription, you therefore have access to an extensive, extra and free service using existing Audials technology.
  • New Additional Auto-Update Function with Audials Generation 2016:
  • Thanks to years of software development, an important shift has taken place from the software (installed on the PCs of users) to the online Audials server. The number of updates to download for installation and the resulting time consumption is therefore drastically reduced. Conversely, Audials 2016 users can benefit from new improvements and tweaks immediately when launching the software! Only with Audials 2016, can users keep pace with technological developments, such as those for streaming!
  • The Wishlist Function Also Benefits Hugely from Auto-Updating:
  • The wishlist function which uses the newly compiled artist directory also benefits enormously from the new auto-update function. The database for music by top artists from each of the genres as well as for albums and samplers is always as fresh as the day thanks to the new auto-update function. Charts to add to your wishlist will also be made available by means of Audials 2016’s auto-update in the future.
  • Audials 2016 is Optimized for Windows 10 and Runs Great on Other Microsoft Operating Systems Too:
  • Microsoft is ushering in a new era with Windows 10. We are following suit because the future of computing belongs to Windows 10. Therefore, many of the adjustments and improvements to our Audials technology have been developed and optimized with the latest Windows operating system in mind. Nevertheless, Windows 8, 7 and Vista are still supported and provide for the full range of functions in the new Audials Generation 2016.
  • Radio: New Mass Recording, Improved Radio Timer, All-New Radio News and Other Improvements:
  • Mass recording is one of the radio recorder’s classic features. It has now been revamped and delivers better results. The information about radio stations has been further expanded with the use of stations’ social news feeds and artists’ Facebook and Twitter news, along with an improved tile-based view. With the radio timer and radio blacklisting, additional improvements have implemented based on the wishes of the user community.
  • The Classic is Back: Mass Recording Fully Revamped and Improved:
  • Mass recording has been one of the most popular functions in Audials Radiotracker since 2005. With it you can amass lots of MP3s from a genre on your hard disc at amazing speeds. Over the years, however, it turned out that the genres specified for shows by radio stations were not always accurate. This caused some of the music tracks to be the wrong genre and the proportion of falsely categorized music continuously grew over time. With Audials 2016, the music recordings can optionally be checked first and only then are the tracks that actually match the desired genre saved. In addition, the user interface has been changed so that you can now set a target number of desired music files.
  • Radio Timer Substantially Improved:
  • The radio timer has been changed to enable the automatic recording of complete radio shows or episodes of radio dramas. Audials Radiotracker 2016 can now use the radio timer to wake up the PC for the automatic recording. In addition, multiple radio timers can be set, in order, for example, to plan recording shows at fixed times on different days. The user interface and the controls as a whole have been reworked so that the use of Audials 2016 not only delivers more possibilities, but is also easier and more intuitive for the user.
  • Social News and Radio Tiles:
  • For the huge number of fans who use Audials Radiotracker to listen to radio, we have perfected the radio tiles view. What’s new is that in addition to the radio stations, you can now also access the social news of the radio station via Facebook and Twitter in Audials. The icing on the cake is that you also get the social news about the artist whose songs are being played by the station. This means you get all the newest info both about the station and the stars!
  • Customer Wishes Come True: Radio Blacklisting:
  • Any radio station in the radio navigation or Audials directory lists can be permanently deleted from by using a blacklist. These radio stations are then not used for the different radio recording functions wither. In this way users can do away with stations they dislike and completely remove them from sight.
  • Music Wishes: New and Improved Artist Directory, Combining of Multiple Wishlists and Many Other Innovations:
  • Only Audials offers wishlists for getting music for free, quickly, legally and in top quality and from a multitude of different sources. In Audials Radiotracker 2016, the most important function area for music fans has now been thoroughly refurbished and adapted with new functions to suit the new needs of users.
  • Head Start with New Artist Directory and a Universe of Music:
  • Gathering together 1.000.000 albums by 870.000 artists in one directory has always been a challenge – one that we’ve taken on again with a new approach in Audials Radiotracker 2016. Thanks to the incorporation of musicians from the world of music, the wishlist is now more aesthetically appealing and, with its completely new user interface, it’s more visually engaging and therefore easier to use. The user experiences a plentiful flow of new ideas for additional music wishes by similar artists. For each of the included music genres, Audials now shows you the top artists for you to wish for with a single click. This gives not just an aha-moment, but also delivers a real WOW-effect!
  • Auto Update Brings You Samplers, Charts and the Current Hits by Top Artists:
  • In earlier generations of Audials, the databases of samplers and top artists were only updated with the software updates. With the switchover to Audials Radiotracker 2016, we’re introducing daily-updated databases, so that the new highlights for your wishlists are available directly at launch and without update installations. The objective here is to bring users an even richer and more extensive range of offers in the future, including when using the charts. This improvement is topped again, however, by the visual layout and the resulting interface with images. Switching over is really worthwhile!
  • Customer Wishes Come True: Handling Wishlists:
  • Music wishes can now be handled and edited in a two-column view. Many customers wanted to be able to combine, divide, mix and merge Audials wishlists. We are happy to have granted this wish in the 2016 version, so that all users can benefit from the ideas of the Audials Community when switching over to Audials Radiotracker 2016.
  • Music: Experience Your Music with Further Improvements:
  • Thanks to Audials, music collections keep on growing. Online clouds come and go. That’s why it’s time for Audials 2016’s new approach to music management and supplying your devices with media.
  • Tag Editor Modernized:
  • For individually tagging files, the tried-and-tested editor has been revamped and given a clearer layout. There is also now a tag for album artist for naming additional artists who collaborated on the album as guests or friends.
  • Popular Clouds Are Automatically Recognized and Offered as Sources:
  • With Windows 10, Microsoft OneDrive is getting a huge boost and being increased in size. At the same time, it’s impossible to forget Dropbox as the pioneer in its field. These and other clouds are automatically recognized by Audials and offered for exporting your media in a redesigned user interface. This means that working with clouds has become a lot easier with Audials Radiotracker 2016.
  • Social Media News about the Artists from Facebook and Twitter:
  • Without using any additional browser or app, you can follow the news and information about your favorite stars directly in Audials and stay up to date about when their next album is coming out or next gig coming up.
  • Everyone Has a Viewpoint – With Audials You Have a Lot:
  • In addition to the viewing modes already provided, users also wanted a section for their music collection similar to the example set by Apple iTunes. We are happy to have granted this wish.
  • Improvements to Display and Visuals:
  • To ensure that you can enjoy your music and entertainment even better, we have made improvements to the display features and appearance year on year.

New in Audials Radio 12.0.45509.900 (Sep 25, 2014)

  • Brand new: The Duplicate Manager:
  • One of the most difficult challenges since our first release in 2005, and one that still continues to present difficulties today, is recognizing and avoiding duplicates. Duplicates tend to pile up when importing a music collection or recording tracks.
  • Incredible Synergy in Combination with the Wishlist:
  • Using the Duplicate Manager is especially powerful in combination with the wishlist. You can now use Audials Radiotracker 12 to make targeted recordings of various versions of songs, albums or artists. Audials then delivers several tracks, but only displays the best versions. By making targeted recordings of, for example, 3 versions of a song, you are still able to make visible rare unplugged versions, remixes, digitally re-mastered recordings or indie recordings from concerts and festivals at a later date. This works even better in combination with the Audials One Music Search.
  • Audials Radiotracker is great and does anything and everything for Radio, but Audials One does is even faster:
  • Since 2005, we’ve been loading up Radiotracker with everything and anything for radio. We came, saw and conquered every challenge leaving nothing to be desired and giving you the best radio tool of all time. Nevertheless, when it comes to supplying you with loads of music quickly, the Radiotracker wishlist doesn’t have a chance compared to Audials One!
  • Live Radio Tiles turn Audials into a Command Central:
  • Even before tuning in, Audials Radiotracker 12 gives you broader scope of station information from numerous stations on their respective live programming than any Audials generation ever. The new radio tiles, for example, display real-time information on the tracks being played on a wide variety of stations. Audials 12 is optimized for larger monitors and higher resolution, and now displays even more radio stations.
  • Side Effect: more Music:
  • A cool side effect from the newest improvements to the live radio information in Gen 12 is the added amount of radio tracks waiting to join your collection, many of which previously were either difficult or impossible to record.
  • Hit Radio with fantastic Display:
  • Major internet radio stations typically offer more than just a radio stream. Oftentimes there are different radio streams for different music genres or programs on the station. The biggest stations even offer podcasts. Audials Radiotracker 12 provides you with a detail page with all the information on what your favorite station offers.
  • Frequently played Artists with Images, additional matching Stations or Genres:
  • The detail page lets you know which radio stations play which artists frequently and recommends additional radio stations or genres that may interest you.
  • Playlist from your favorite Radio Station for subsequent Storage of Hits:
  • While you are listening to a radio station, a new detail page can now provide you with playlists that let you save previously heard hits later with just a click.
  • Global, national, regional and now even local:
  • The Audials Radiotracker 12 radio database now classifies stations even further. Countries are now sub-divided into state, region and city to give you stations from right around the corner.
  • Switch now to Audials Generation 12:
  • Whether you stick with Audials Radiotracker or decide on Audials One, it’s worth switching to the brand new generation 12.
