Recordify: A Desktop Tool for Capturing Streaming Audio

Recordify is a Windows application from Abelssoft that records audio played on a PC and saves it as discrete files. Designed to capture music and other audio from streaming services and online sources, Recordify intercepts sound that is routed through the computer speakers and writes it to disk in standard audio formats.

Core functionality and workflow

• Capture method: Records whatever is played on the PC (stereo mix style recording), enabling permanent copies of tracks streamed from services such as Spotify, Apple Music, Amazon Music and other online sources.
• Automatic splitting and tagging: Identifies individual tracks within a continuous stream, splits them into separate files and attempts to populate ID3 metadata for artist, title and album information.
• File formats: Export options include MP3, WAV and FLAC, allowing selection between compressed and lossless output.
• Built-in player and library: Recorded files are stored in an integrated library and can be played back inside the application without an internet connection.

Additional features and options

• Quality and bitrate: Supports audio quality up to 320 kbps, with output quality ultimately dependent on the source stream.
• Plus version extras: Extended features for paid users include customizable file naming, detection and separate saving of advertising blocks, free email support and a period of free updates.
• Practical use cases: Useful for creating offline libraries from streaming playlists, archiving audio plays or saving audio for devices that accept standard files.

Usability, compatibility and legal positioning

Recordify runs on Windows 7 through Windows 11 and offers a simple start/stop recording workflow similar to a traditional cassette recorder. Recordings are saved to the hard drive for easy copying and transfer. Abelssoft positions the product within German legal requirements for private copies under §53 UrhG and states that the software does not bypass copy-protection measures.
