Is it installed, is it licensed?
( Note: ⠇ below is supposed to appear as 3-vertically stacked dots, a Braile U, used in modern programs to indicate a control list is available, I don’t know how SOS will handle the code. )
Ignore the pop-up asking you to buy something ( unless you ALSO want to buy something ), and ignore the green box in the upper right saying [ Buy now! ] ( unless you ALSO want to buy something ), nope …
… to confirm that you have installed AND signed in,
– click the 3-dots [ ⠇ ] in the upper left, a drop-down menu should appear,
– then click [ Open options ] in a drop-down menu, an [ Audials Options ] windows should appear,
– then in [ General ], see [ Product activation ], and see [ Audials Music Tube ].
If that’s what you see, then you are good to go.
If not, then tell us about it, maybe we can help.
Yeah, you have to sign in at Audials, using an existing account, or make a new one.

To download only music, not videos:
– Mouse-hover over any web resource,
– See the green box to the right, a box with an arrow and 3-dots [ > ⠇ ]
– Click the 3-dots [ ⠇ ]
– A drop-down list should appear with [ Record audio track ],
– Click that,
– Audials will ask you to take responsibility for downloading,
– Then it will download, convert, tag, and appear in the right when done,
– Mouse-hover over it on the right, another green box with an arrow will appear [ > (x) ⠇ ],
– Click the [ > ] to play, toggle to [ [] ] to stop,
– Click the 3-dots in that green box to drop-down a list that includes [ Open folder ] to find the file,
– It defaults to [ …\Music\Audials\Audials Music ]

Audials is one of the weirdest, most awkward interfaces out there, but once I figured out 1, 2, maybe 3 things that I wanted, okay, maybe only 2, I love it, and I frequently use it to collect new music before a trip, and I almost always find something or someone new to me that I really appreciate and would not have found any other way … then I delete the 99 other things that somehow did not really connect with my sensibilities and preferences … like spinning the radio dial, who really adores everything they hear?
Not me.
Thanks, Audials, this is a keeper, just in time for a road trip.
