Table of Contents

With Audials, you have the opportunity to record songs and albums from Spotify, Amazon Music, Tidal, Deezer, Dailymotion, Vimeo, and other music platforms by drag and drop.

What does “drag and drop” or “remote control” mean?

“Drag and Drop” or “Remote control” means that Audials opens an invisible window of Spotify, Amazon Music or other sources, plays back the music so that you don’t hear it and then Audials saves the music to your PC faster than the other recording methods.
