CNET Editors' review
Audials One is a smooth audio and video downloading tool that doesn't deliver as much as it advertises, but what it does provide performs well.
The program's interface is intuitive to operate, thanks to its sleek color scheme and organization, and looks like it was designed by a high-dollar programmer. We never needed the Help file since things felt so intuitive. Audials One essentially functions as a search engine that sucks up all free instances of music and video on the Web. Typing in an artist's name or song title showed each result and its source, which were mostly YouTube and MySpace. Saving them as WMVs or MP3s took a little longer than we liked but resulted in high-quality files. However, it's surprising that you can't download entire movies as the product description indicates. One positive surprise was the program's built-in conversion feature, which takes any video or music in your collection and converts its file type effortlessly. Overall, this was a great way to find free music, but not helpful for tracking down free movies.
Audials One has a five-day trial period. Though it didn't fully live up to its expectations, we were pleased with its music-finding functionality and still recommend it.

"Computer hangs on installation; never worked"
Version: Audials One 10.1
Pros
There are no "pros" for this product.
Cons
Never would install properly, and hangs up the computer. There is NO technical support for installation. They send you to a support site that doesn't even list this product.
Summary
It's a waste of time and money.

"Commercial Free Quality Radio"
Version: Audials One 10.1
Pros
Great selection of radio stations. All my favorite stations are commercial free. Not sure how that was achieved, but is FANTASTIC!
Cons
Program has tendency to crash every now and then. At times the PC must be restarted to get it opened and playing. The interface is crowded, dark and cluttered. The sound is a little tinny/raspy.
Summary
The $59 price seems way too high. However, on the other hand I am listening to great music ALL DAY LONG without ads. They need to fix bugs, lower price and create an easier to view interface that is not so crowded. Good piece of software that will only keep getting better.

"Has been defeated."
Version: Audials One 10.1
Pros
Used to work.
Cons
Windows Media Player and Rhapsody have defeated this as a means of converting their protected WMA files to MP3. Do not buy it for that purpose. It converts a few and then the rights to continue are revoked. You must delete and re-download the Rhapsody files just to play them again with WMP.
Summary
Might be useful for some things but not for freeing your Rhapsody downloads.
