With Audials One Standard, you can record your favorite music from Spotify on your Windows PC in the highest quality. This lets you build your own music collection. Enjoy your songs at home, on vacation and on the move offline on PC, Android, iPhone and more. No Spotify downloader needed!
Good to know: No copyright protection is circumvented
Music Streaming Services that can be recorded with Audials do not use any effective protection against recording and output unencrypted audio e.g. on the PC’s sound card. Audials always only records such unencrypted audio data. According to US Copyright Law “No action may be brought … alleging infringement of copyright based on … distribution … or based on the noncommercial use by a consumer of such a … digital audio recording device”.
Make Your Life Sound Better
A crowded train, a stressful way to work, a car stuck in traffic, or a long ride before your holiday starts — everyday life sounds better when your favorite audio is already ready. With Audials, you can prepare Spotify playlists, albums, and podcasts at home and enjoy them offline whenever the connection is weak, mobile data is limited or you just want to stay offline.
Your Helper for Good Mood and a Peacuful Mind
Use your recorded music for your morning or evening routine, meditation, your workout, or the waiting time between appointments. Prepare music that makes you happy, lets you relax, for summer or for Christmas. Audials helps you keep the music and podcasts you love close, organized, and ready when you need a little more calm, focus, or good mood.

Build your own music collection now
Download Audials One and discover the freedom to enjoy your favorite Spotify music anytime, anywhere. With your purchase, you get a 30-day money-back guarantee!
Of course, you can download Spotify music from the Spotify app directly. But if you want to have a music collection that does not disappear after cancelling the Spotify subscription or deinstalling the Spotify app, Audials will be a good complement.
Tip: Not all Spotify downloaders are legal
There are providers like TuneFab that advertise bypassing DRM protection. That is not legal, and we advise against using such Spotify downloaders.
There are also free online Spotify downloaders. Supposedly, you can use them to get Spotify music as audio files—without registering. Sounds too good to be true, doesn’t it? That alone should be reason enough to be cautious. We strongly advise against using those applications as well.
If you use VPN software or antivirus software, it may even raise an alert with online Spotify downloaders as soon as you land on their website. That’s another sign that you should avoid these sites.

Please note
If you register or subscribe to Spotify, you will agree to the Spotify terms of use. We recommend to read them carefully and to adhere to them.
According to the Copyright Law of the United States, “No action may be brought under this title [copyright law] alleging infringement of copyright […] based on noncommercial use by a consumer of [a digital audio recording device]”.
The Spotify music stream that Audials is able to record is not protected by effective copy-protection measures. Audials just records the unencrypted signal which is outputted to the system sound device.
Besides the background recording in realtime (1x speed), recording in high-speed is available in Audials One. When you start recording in high-speed, Audials One communicates with the Spotify servers. When you record in 1x, Audials One does not communicate with Spotify servers.
The Spotify app could check your PC whether it is prepared for recording. So currently, you’d better only consider “secure” recording methods that protect your usage data by only recording music at realtime (1x) speed and that do not communicate directly with the Spotify servers. In Audials, this will be ensured if you use the recording from the Spotify website, not from the Spotify app.
