Audials Radio Player Recorder With Sleep Timer

Audials Radio Player Recorder is a radio app with the ability to record clips from radio stations as a MP3. The homepage for the app contains blocks with different radio stations in each. There is a blue block for the Radio and a purple block for Podcast. At the bottom of this screen you will find your recordings, a block labeled My Music which contains the music on the device and My Videos which holds the videos from the device.

The app does more than simply record music. The menu tab at the top right gives you a list of options for settings and different features.
