Answers to the most frequently asked questions

What do you need Audials for?

Audials helps you prepare music, movies, series, radio, and podcasts so they are available when you need them: offline, organized, and independent of a stable internet connection.
Streaming is convenient, but it is not always reliable. Wi-Fi can be weak, mobile reception can drop, and downloads in streaming apps can expire. With Audials, you can turn streamed content into your own media collection, use it on suitable devices and enhance its quality with AI.

Typical situations

In the car
Prepare playlists, albums, radio songs, or podcasts in advance and save them to your smartphone, USB stick, or SD card. Your music keeps playing in the car even when reception drops.

On the train or while commuting
Listen to music and podcasts without relying on unstable train Wi-Fi or mobile coverage.

For sports and workouts
Save your favorite playlists before training, so your music plays without buffering.

For sleep and relaxation
Prepare music, radio, nature sounds, or podcasts for your evening routine without searching or loading at night.

For flights and travel
Have music, movies, series, and podcasts ready in flight mode or when hotel Wi-Fi is slow.

For family trips
Prepare podcasts, audiobooks, and music for nervous children during vacation, or make movies and music easier to access for parents or grandparents.

For campervans, hotels, and student housing
Use your entertainment offline when the internet connection is weak, shared, or unreliable, for example in your motorhome.

Improve the quality of your entertainment
You can make your smartphone videos from ten years ago, movies and other footage sharper and upscale it to 4K. Music in lossy audio formats like MP3 can become up to 96 kHz studio quality.

What makes Audials different from simply streaming?
Audials helps you record, save, organize, and, depending on the feature, improve your content. Instead of relying only on streaming access, you build a media collection that is ready for everyday life, travel, family, sports, and leisure time.

What’s the difference between Audials One Standard and Premium?

Audials has consolidated its product range to provide a more streamlined and powerful user experience.

Audials One Standard includes all features that were previously offered as separate products:
• Audials Radio
• Audials Music
• Audials Movie

These individual products are no longer available as standalone versions. Their full functionality is now integrated into Audials One Standard, simplifying the product line while maintaining all core features.

Audials One Premium (formerly known as Audials One Ultra) includes everything in the Standard version, plus the additional capabilities of Audials Vision.

Audials Vision is an advanced AI-powered toolkit that helps you:
• Enhance the quality of audio and video content
• Organize media intelligently for better management and discovery

In summary:
• Audials One Standard combines Radio, Music, and Movie features in one product
• Audials One Premium includes everything in Standard, plus Vision for AI-powered enhancement and organization

Why do I see “Cleverbridge” in my invoice or purchase email instead of Audials?

Audials uses Cleverbridge as its authorized payment and e-commerce partner. Cleverbridge processes payments and handles the online shop system through which Audials products are sold.
Because of this, you may see the name Cleverbridge on your invoice, payment receipt, credit card statement, or purchase confirmation email. This is completely normal and does not indicate any problem with your order.
If you have recently purchased Audials and are unfamiliar with Cleverbridge, seeing a different company name may be confusing. But please be aware that Cleverbridge is the official payment provider for Audials and is authorized to sell Audials products on our behalf.
If you have any questions about your purchase, subscription, or invoice, please contact the Audials Support department.

Can I install multiple Audials versions on the same system?

Yes, you can have several Audials versions (eg 2023, 2024, 2025) installed on the same system, our only recommendation is to not use them all at the same time. 
But you can not install on the same system two different Audials 2025 products (eg Audials Radio 2025 and Audials Music 2025)
Please be aware that the installer for all of our Audials 2025 products is the same, only the license key makes the difference (the license key activates the features of your purchased version). So, if you have installed Audials 2025 and you have activated the product with a Movie license key, you will have only the features of Movie available. Now, if you own also a license key for AudialsOne, you will have to go under Audials Options > Account&License> Product activation and remove the already entered license key and to enter the new one in order to activate all the AudialsOne features.

Audials 2026 version is a complete new version and once you install it on your system you will get a new icon for it on your desktop.
We would recommend you to download and install the new Audials 2026 version and only afterwards to uninstall your previous version, maybe you will want to transfer some files from the previous version to the new version and uninstalling the previous version before installing the new version, you might loose those files, and we want to avoid that.

What about installing Audials PC on iMac or MacBook

Audials 2026 version was not designed to work at all on a Mac OSX system.
 
There is no native Mac version of Audials. Nor have we any plans of implementing Audials for the Mac in the near future. 
 
All previous Audials versions could be installed on the Windows version of your iMac or MacBook by either running Windows in a virtual machine, or by using a third-party software, such as Parallels, as Windows compatibility layer.

On Mac Intel the previous Audials versions were tested and the drivers were properly installed on our side, but on Mac ARM might be indeed the problem that the Audials drivers won’t install. Our developers could not find yet any solution for ARM based Macs. What exactly won’t work on Mac ARM is the following:
• Converter: Converting AUDIBLE audio books (by burning virtual CDs through iTunes)
• Video Streaming service + Other/Screen > Screen recording
• Music Streaming services + „Other Source“ + „Continuous recording“
But other Audials features like Radio should work properly.

Can I install additional search plug-ins in Audials?

Important: This feature is no longer available.
Support for third-party search plug-ins has been discontinued and removed from current Audials versions. Therefore, additional search plug-ins can no longer be installed or used.
If you are using an older Audials version, the information below may still apply.

Plug-ins are optional extensions that expand the functionality of a software program. Many plug-ins are created by third-party developers and can add new features—such as improving music search.

To install additional search plug-ins in Audials:
• Visit the user forum and look for plug-in files with the extension .aplp
• Download the desired plug-in file
• Open or import the file in Audials to install it

Once installed, the plug-in will enhance the available search capabilities within the program.
