IMUSIC.am
I use this streaming music site IMUSIC.am and I downloaded the current version of this software and was able to record music but unsure if it was via mic or prefer sound card but it didn't label the recording was my main issue. I haven't purchased yet unsure if it can be put on my computers in the household or just one? There was no listing for the stream music site I am using so I used "other" but as I said it wouldn't ID3 the information. Thanks for any help... Mike

Regarding the recording source, it's likely that the software is capturing audio directly from your sound card rather than using your microphone, especially if you're able to record streaming music. Most recording software allows you to select the input source, and it's common for it to default to the sound card when capturing system audio.

It sounds like you’re dealing with a few key issues here—figuring out whether the recording is pulling from your mic or system sound, understanding licensing for multiple computers, and getting proper ID3 tags on your recordings.
First, for the recording source, check the software’s settings to see if there’s an option to select between “microphone” and “system sound” (sometimes called “stereo mix” or “what you hear”). If it's recording background noise, it's likely using your mic instead of capturing the direct stream.
For licensing, most paid software allows installation on one device unless specified otherwise. You might want to check their website or contact their support to clarify if multiple household computers are covered under a single purchase.
As for ID3 tags, some streaming services don’t provide metadata for copyright reasons, so the software might not be able to pull the track info automatically. If that’s the case, you might need a separate tag editor (like MP3Tag or MusicBrainz Picard) to manually update the information.
Funny enough, this reminds me of the Costco food court—just like their menu keeps things simple and affordable but sometimes lacks customization, your software does the basics well but might need a little extra work to get things just right. Hope this helps!

Hi Mike! It sounds like the recording issue might be due to input settings—check if the software is set to record via system sound (preferred) rather than the mic. Look for an option like "Stereo Mix" or "Loopback" in the audio settings. As for ID3 tagging, some programs don’t auto-detect metadata from streaming sites, so you might need to manually edit tags using a tool like MP3Tag. Regarding device usage, check the software’s licensing terms—some allow installation on multiple computers, while others require separate licenses per device. Hope this helps!
