Good to know: No copyright protection is circumvented
Radio stations that can be recorded with Audials do not use any effective protection against recording and output unencrypted audio on the sound card of your device. 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”.
FM radio, also known as VHF radio (Very High Frequency), is probably the most well-known form of radio reception. It provides clear, low-interference sound and is mainly used for music and entertainment stations. FM stands for “Frequency Modulation”—a technique in which information is transmitted via small fluctuations in radio waves. This method delivers relatively high sound quality, which is why FM is still so popular today.
AM radio works similarly but uses a different transmission method: “Amplitude Modulation.” In this case, it’s not the frequency but the strength of the radio waves that is changed. AM radio was widely used in the past and is especially suitable for voice broadcasts over long distances, such as news or talk shows. The downside: the sound quality is significantly lower than FM, and it is more prone to interference.
Many people wonder how much longer FM and AM radio will be around—especially since digital radio is on the rise. In some countries, analog radio (i.e., AM and FM) is already being gradually phased out and replaced by DAB+ (Digital Audio Broadcasting). The trend clearly points toward digital. Digital radio not only offers better sound but also additional information like station names, song titles, or weather updates.
Still, analog radio—especially FM—will remain for a while. It works reliably without the internet and is still the simplest way for many people to listen to the radio.
