If you know what you’d like to watch, just type it into the main search bar and Audials One 2020 will find and pool results from all of them. You don’t have to search each streaming service separately, either. Audials has worked with Google to make sure this feature is all above-board and legitimate, and it’s far more convenient than trying to download videos one at a time using a standalone YouTube downloader. On the video front, not only can Audials One 2020 pull in content from any streaming service you’ve subscribed to, it also lets you watch whole playlists without ads. That’s not the only new addition in the 2020 release, either if you’re a Spotify user, you’ll be pleased to know that you can now drag and drop multiple playlists into Audials One, and download speeds are vastly improved. If a station plays an advertisement before playback begins, Audials One 2020 will label it with the word ‘Ads’ to warn you. You can also look for stations by country, and there’s a solid search tool if you have something more specific in mind.
The sheer number of stations available could have been a nightmare to navigate, but thankfully the huge list is broken down into sensible categories (pop, rock, chillout etc), which are then split into more esoteric genres. Fancy listening to a radio station live, rather than just a single song? Again, Audials One has you covered.
