How-to: Searching for music only in specific streaming services

Up until now you could search several music streaming services in Audials to load music. In Audials One 2022, you can specify exactly which services you want to display results from. You can also set a priority for the services.

1. Open the Load tab in the Music menu item.

2. Click the dropdown menu with the streaming services beneath the search bar.

3. Now you can activate or deactivate all the streaming services you want. If one of them is to have the highest priority in the search, move it to the highest position with the mouse pointer.

4. Search for music by entering an album, artist name, etc. in the search line.

Audials will now only display search results from services that you have activated and in the priority you specified.
