Ok, installed this on Vista sp2 32bit with 8G RAM all enabled...

Before supplying my email address and signing up for a VIP account what ever that is I decided to test this since the version number suggests this is relatively young software. First the good news it does record system sound on sound subsystems that have no mixer or wav out input pin suggesting it is WASAPI rather than older legacy methods of recording like MME and DirectSound Which is very good and explains why the os support cutoff occours with pre-vista operating systems since WASAPI was introduced with windows vista.

Now the questionable... why do you use a bunch of Apowersoft DLLs?
C:\Program Files\AceThinker\AceThinker Music Recorder\ApowersoftConverter.dll

C:\Program Files\AceThinker\AceThinker Music Recorder\ApowersoftMusicPlayer.dll

C:\Program Files\AceThinker\AceThinker Music Recorder\ApowersoftVideoHelper.dll
and

C:\Program Files\AceThinker\AceThinker Music Recorder\AudioSoundRecorder.dll by MultiMedia soft

Also as soon as the program starts CPU usage rises to 50% to 58% for the AceThinker Music Recorder.exe process when it is just idling! This is not acceptable! It does record system, microphone or system + microphone ok.

Volume control on streaming radio player does not apear to adjust the radios volume and I have to use the systems volume control to bring the volume down from full.

And lastly upon choosing Exit from the choice window when closing the main window the program apears to exit , the systray icon goes away too but the AceThinker Music Recorder.exe process remains in task manager eating around 50% CPU resources. The only way to finally exit and let the poor old laptop cool back down is to force End task in the process tab.

Still needs more work... this feels like an Alpha release or an early Beta release.

First thing that I noticed is completely the same user interface as Streaming Audio Recorder from Apowersoft,so I suppose this is some kind of rebranding.
In fact this is the same program,with same functions-and it is very good.Plethora of functions(audio converter and editor,video to MP3 converter.ID3 tagging,transfer music to I-Tunes...).You can download music from almost all popular platforms just by pasting URL(click on Download-than on Video to MP3 converter(by default,You can choose different format in program options)-new window with will pop up-just paste url(program detects source),choose output format(MP3,MP2,M4A,WMA,AAC,AC3,FLAC,WAV) and output quality and click on add to dowload)..Downloading if very fast,output quality is very good. As I wrote there are many more useful options, in fact this piece of software was one of biggest positive surprise's found on giveaway sites (I tested many music downloaders claiming ''our software can download music from bla,bla,bla platforms''-but after testing those ''powerful'' tools-only downloading from YouTube was working.
Cons-it worked only for limited time despite claiming that that version is forever..of course this does not diminish the value and quality of this excellent tool...This time with new name! as always--sorry for my bad English-I learned it by myself.

I used the six-digit integer 5542?? to register, and seemingly it worked fine. However, I notice that the "[Giveaway] License information for AceThinker Music Recorder (Ref: 599db4b4????)" has that roughly 13-digit alphanumeric ref number. Who knows whether that's important. To make matters worse, the text of that page contains yet another alphanumeric, this one with dashes: Keycode: ?????-CB61P-Q07GN-632A2.

Come on, people. Three of those cryptic fields for one download? Does anyone agree that seeing all those three fields is not a good user experience? This is particularly galling because I have had several instances when I go through the registration instructions, and a few days or weeks later when I get a chance to try it out, the software tells me it's not registered! So I would really like to know if the dev thinks it's sensible to associate three unfriendly fields with a single download? 5542??, and 599db4b45b???, and ?????-CB61P-Q07GN-632A2 ! For just one download you show me a verification code, a keycode, and a reference number<\i>? Please.

I have enjoyed GAOTD for years. If a week or two down the road this piece of software starts complaining that it's not registered, or they want money, or something, I'm done with GAOTD. It happens more and more often, and it's not worth the hassle.
