Audio Xtract Frequently Asked Questions
Is Audio Xtract legal?
Audio Xtract is 100% legal to use, just like a cassette recorder, VCR, or Digital Video Recorder (TiVo). Under US Copyright law, the basic right of copying is specifically addressed in Section 1008, which states that: “No action may be brought under this title alleging infringement of copyright based on the manufacture, importation, or distribution of a digital audio recording device, a digital audio recording medium, an analog recording device, or an analog recording medium, or based on the noncommercial use by a consumer of such a device or medium for making digital musical recordings or analog musical recordings.” Audio Xtract is designed specifically to enable recording for your own personal use, and does not involve the circumvention of any copy protection mechanisms.
Does Audio Xtract support streaming audio from sources like Rhapsody, Musicmatch, Yahoo Launchcast, etc.?
At this time, the base program supports stations that use the Shoutcast streaming protocol. The Pro version supports recording the other stream formats.
Can I use playlist files that I find on the internet?
Playlist (or .pls) files contain information for connecting to a specific radio stream (station), like station name, IP address, etc. You can import this information by going into the Favorites window, clicking on the "Add Station" button, then clicking on the "Load From Playlist" button and navigating to the .pls file. It may be necessary to manually type in the station name or set the Genre, depending on the data in the .pls file.
Does Audio Xtract work with Windows 98SE/ME?
Yes; with v 1.0.0.2 of Audio Xtract.
