Audials Mediaraptor lets you download online music and video files from a centralized interface.
Audials Mediaraptor features a sleek and original design that beats music and playlist sharing Mobster hands down. It has a built-in search tool and also a special area where you can select downloads by genre and type. The program also uses several video and music online databases to find what you're looking for. These meta searches occur simultaneously on numerous websites to help you target the songs and music videos you're looking for the most. Not only does Mediaraptor support virtually any music format you can find, but you can even create MP3 files from music videos you find on YouTube.
Another very nice feature of Audials Mediaraptor is the ability to stop and start downloads at will. Every download you choose is placed into a downloads folder at the foot of the screen that is easily accessible with a click on the applicable button. Audials Mediaraptor also includes quite a few handy additional tools, allowing you to do things like burn a CD from the MP3 files you've downloaded, create mobile phone ring tones, and convert music from one file format to another.
The installation process to get Audials Mediaraptor running can be frustrating, however. The program takes quite a long time to actually install. The interface is also a little dark. While this gives Audials Mediaraptor a very cool feel, it can also make any words in the overall interface substantially more difficult to read for users. Fortunately, users can opt to change the interface layout and coloring in this newest version of the program, a definite plus.
Audials Mediaraptor is a great tool for downloading music and video files from the web.
