Choosing the right recording tool

When no quickstart option (i. e. a separate recording tile) is available for the music streaming service you want to record from, you have to choose a recording tool that seems best suitable for your task. In case of doubt, try the tools one after another.

In the "Music Streaming" menu item of Audials, you can see three tiles below the recording tiles for Spotify, Deezer etc.:

- "Other source"

- "Download while playing"

- "Continuous Recording"

Tool	Pros	Cons
"Download while playing"	reliable tagging easy use and fast recording allows to browse on and play something else while recording	can fail to detect the audio signal works only for few services
"Other source"	records any stream, and everything is played over the sound card cuts stream into songs	less reliable tagging real-time recording while you are listening playing other sounds at the same time will disturb the recording may require special setup of playback software
"Continuous Recording"	the stream is saved as a continuous recording
