Have any of you used any version of Audials? I saw a guy explain it on YouTube last night. It can record anything on your computer - movies, TV, music, etc. It can also act as a base for using any of your recorded material. I'm looking at online articles about it now.

EDIT: I bought it from Best Buy for $26, including tax. It's installed and working.

Jerry, did you read the reviews posted on BestBuy.com by 2 purchasers? The reviews are less than stellar and both experienced the same issue. Please update us with your experience with Audials. I am interested in this product and would value your evaluation. Thank you.

Yes, I read the bad review (just one) about Best Buy, but I bought it anyway. I paid for and received Audials 2022. It took a while to get the key to download and install it, but I'm registered with the company, and it runs. I haven't tried to record anything, though. There's no way I would have paid almost $80 for it, but for $26, it's worth a gamble. Maybe it can replace iTunes.

I also read those BB reviews and I'm happy to see that Jerry was able to install Audials 2022 and get it registered. Before I proceed further I will watch this post to see what happens when and if Jerry tries to record something and see if his gamble pays off.

Why would anyone buy it? You can do all that with Linux and it is free.

I have used Audials for several years (7?) (Currently v2022). I am very happy with it. It does everything it says it will.

PlayOn (https://www.playon.tv/) is also very useful for recording selected streaming media.

I am interested and will be following this... hope you will be checking out it’s features and reporting on it.

Best Buy page looks like a 1-time purchase but the Audials web site shows more like a subscription... is your version a subscription, with annual payments to keep it working?

Thanks for sharing this info with UHH

Was your Audials a 1-time purchase or an annual subscription?

Interesting!

In July 2011, I subscribed for the first year --$59.90. Each year since, it has gone done to where it is to this day (09/28/2021) --$19,90 (same as last year).

Mine is a Forever purchase. I saw that fee for annual usage, but I also saw a $97 list price with a $20 reduction. those figures might not be 100%, but they do sell it outright. Otherwise, I wouldn't have bought it.

I can't guarantee that I will be doing an evaluation and reporting on it.
