Audials One no longer has the integrated ability to directly download from various sources. It’s now done via 3rd party plug-ins which for the most part are kept up-to-date but not always, especially for sites like YouTube which seem to be changing around their methods of stream to circumvent downloads. So clearly this part of the software is problematic from a copyright perspective. However, very easy to use plug-ins for Firefox make it even easier to download things like videos from YouTube so any intermittent functionality in Audials One has gone unnoticed for me recently.
Recording streaming radio for personal use is still 100% legal and a fantastic way to find new bands.
I haven’t bothered to upgrade to the V3 so I can’t specifically comment on it.
