Luckily now we have a much simpler solution to simulate the great V8 engine sounds in your overly silent car. By plugging the Sound Racer FM transmitter into your car’s cigarette lighter socket. The Sound Racer will then produce the sports car engine sounds that will get you to feel that you’re in a big race.

The Sound racer does not simply blast some non-sense engine sounds, it does go accordingly to your car engine RPM. It’s been designed to be able to sense and calculate the car engine RPM and produce the sounds of a powerful Super Sports Car engine. The sound changes as you drive and SoundRacer even increases the speed of the engine sound even you drive at a normal speed to get you the exciting engine sounds.

The device is simply an FM transmitter which transmits the engine sounds to your car stereo. While you’re not in the mood of hearing any engine sounds, you can use it as a standard FM transmitter for MP3 players, which you can hook up an iPod or iPhone through its line-in input for sending tunes to the car stereo. Unfortunately, it does not have a USB input or memory card slot for playing tunes on a USB drive or memory card.

Single Interface for all – The older version of AudialsOne was split into a number of tools including RadioTracker, TuneBite, and VideoRaptor which tracks audio, removes DRM and searches and downloads videos and MP3s from online video sites like YouTube respectively. The new AudialsOne 4 makes it much simpler by combining all these functions into a single interface.

A very brief look at the new interface presented by the AudialsOne 4 – it’s now divided into six tabs on top. The first tab is the Radio, where you can have AudialsOne 4 to select from over 30,000 Internet radio stations by genre, country of origin and radio station, and start recording cool music. And those audio files can be converted into the formats of your choice to suit the devices (e.g iPod Touch and iPhone) that you intend to play the downloaded/stripped music files on.

The second tab is where the search function is, which allows you to search musics and videos by titles and your favorite artists. And the AudialsOne 4 allows you to add in plugins that add more search capabilities over music sharing and social network sites. You can get to the AudialsOne forum to get a number of available plugins contributed by the forum users. I particularly like the search function that provides superb easiness to find any musics and videos over the Internet.

The third tab leads you to where you can create your own wish list and even load others’ wishlists from the community. The forth tab is where you can record music and video from any website or website that is on your browser screen. The fifth tab is leads you to where you can tune to listen and watch Podcasts and the last is a powerful converter that allows you to convert music and video files to various formats (MP4, H.264 and you name it) that suit a variety of gadgets including iPod Touch, iPhone, Sony PSP, Samsung, Nokia, SE etc.

Music cut perfectly – The very obvious improvement is AudialsOne 4 provides much better and near perfect music cut, compared to the old AudialsOne which usually had glitches at the end of the audio file.

HD video recording capability – One great feature of AudialsOne 4 is to record HD movies and videos and save them in your desired formats. This allows you to keep copies of films rented from online movie stores. This is similar to the old days where your dad and mum simply taped those video tapes in the analogue way and now AudialOne 4 just does it in digital and much simpler way.

The AudialsOne 4 can be downloaded from AudialsOne.com. The freeware version needs no registration or activation, but those functions available in the full version are only available in the free version for limited time.
