What does Audials Radio do?

Audials Radio is a Windows program that plays and records internet radio and podcasts, with access to more than 100,000 stations and around two million podcasts worldwide. It records live streams to common audio formats such as MP3 and AAC, automatically splitting songs and adding ID3 tags like title, artist, cover art and lyrics. You can schedule recordings, build favorite lists, and let the software fill a music library from radio in the background. The result is an organized offline collection you can play on the PC or move to a phone or USB stick for the car.

Can Audials Radio record music from Spotify or videos from Netflix?

No, the dedicated Audials Radio edition records internet radio and podcasts only, not music streaming services such as Spotify, Amazon Music or Deezer, and not video services like Netflix or Prime Video. Those capture features belong to the separate Audials Music, Audials Movie and the all-in-one Audials One editions. If your main goal is pulling specific tracks from a streaming subscription or saving films and series, Audials Radio is the wrong tier. Choose it when your priority is recording broadcast radio, grabbing songs as stations play them, and managing podcasts offline.

How is Audials Radio different from Audials One?

Audials Radio covers radio and podcasts, while Audials One adds recording from music streaming services, video and movie capture up to 1080p, and AI media enhancement. Both share the same radio engine, including parallel recording of up to 100 stations at once and the worldwide station database. From the 2026 generation onward, Audials retired the separate Movie, Music and Radio editions and folded their features into Audials One Standard and Premium, so the dedicated Radio edition reflects the earlier product line. Pick Radio if you only need broadcast and podcast capture; pick One if you also want streaming-music or video recording.

What can the free Audials Play mobile app do?

Audials Play is a free companion app for Android and iOS that streams roughly 110,000 radio stations and about 1.9 million podcasts, with extras such as a sleep timer, equalizer, Chromecast and Android Auto support. It can record broadcasts on the phone and, paired with the PC software, wirelessly sync recordings between desktop and mobile. The free app is ad-supported on some stations because broadcasters insert their own advertising into the live stream. It is the practical way to take a radio collection built on the PC into the car or onto a commute.

What should I check before choosing Audials Radio?

Confirm you are on Windows, because Audials Radio is a Windows-only program with no native macOS version and would need a Windows environment to run on Apple hardware. Check that radio and podcasts are what you actually want to capture, since this edition does not record from Spotify, Netflix or similar subscription services. If you expect to expand into streaming-music or video recording later, the all-in-one Audials One avoids buying a second product. Note also that the live radio database changes constantly, so Audials refreshes its station addresses about every two weeks to keep recordings working.

Which file formats does Audials Radio save recordings in?

Recordings are saved in standard audio formats such as MP3, AAC and WMA. Audials separates individual songs from a continuous radio stream and writes ID3 tags automatically, so each track lands in your library already labelled with title, artist and cover art.

Who develops Audials Radio?

Audials Radio is developed by Audials AG, a software company based in Karlsruhe, Germany, whose streaming and recording tools trace back to the Tunebite line introduced in 2008. The same company maintains the shared worldwide radio database and the free Audials Play mobile app.
