December 2008, Windows Vista Magazine, quotes and excerpts from the article:

"Over the past few years, there´s been an explosion of multimedia content online. Some of it is available for free and some of it isn´t, but either way, it´s not always easy to find. You could spend hours looking for the content you want, and that´s before you even get to paying for it, downloading it and getting it to play back on all your multimedia devices.

That´s why this issue´s disc has MP3videoraptor on it... Once you´ve installed it, the best place to start is with the Music Search tab. Just enter a key word, such as an artist´s name, and click Start searching.

World wide fetch

During a search, MP3videoraptor finds and retrieves hundreds of MP3 tracks and online videos for you, ready to play back. It also finds the album artwork and ID3 database tags, so the track can be filed properly, and any song lyrics available. Results are presented in a list with individual ratings, so you can see which are the most popular with the Audials community... There´s also an audio converter to change the format of tracks at the bottom-left, so you can move content between your devices with ease. Where there are music videos available on YouTube or similiar sites, MP3videoraptor locates these so that you can play them back, too.

And if you come across a piece of web video that you´d like to save from video-hosting site, then the Surf and Catch feature enables you to do just that. Simply enter the URL of the video and you can save it to your hard drive for playback whenever you like. You can even search through thousands of web radio stations to find any current music you want and record that as well."
