User reviews

Audio Downloader Prime is praised for successfully downloading audio from websites where other tools fail, particularly for dynamically generated streams and niche platforms like Libby. Users appreciate its foundational features being free and effective on many sites. However, recurring issues include poor support for YouTube and some websites, lack of batch download capability, inconsistent auto-download for large files, and occasional duplication of sounds. Despite these drawbacks, many users find the extension very helpful and recommend trying it, especially in Chrome.

Pros

Works well on various websites where other audio downloaders fail, including some niche platforms like Libby and certain public accounts.
Free and offers foundational functionality that is impressive compared to alternatives.
Effective at downloading dynamically generated audio streams and sports audio from websites.
Simple to use and has positive user feedback regarding its effectiveness on multiple sites.
Useful for capturing audio that is otherwise difficult to download with other software.

Cons

Does not work reliably on YouTube or for Google pronunciation audio.
Lack of a 'download all' button requires users to download audio files individually, which can be tedious when dealing with multiple streams.
Auto-download functionality is inconsistent, especially for large files and on Windows 11 Chrome browsers.
Some issues with duplicated sounds instead of all unique sound effects being downloaded.
Does not always work perfectly on certain sites, including Libby in some cases, and may require manual renaming and organization post-download.

Extension safety

Risk impact

Risk impact measures the level of extra permissions an extension has access to. A low risk impact extension cannot do much harms, whereas a high risk impact extension can do a lot of damage like stealing your password, bypassing your security settings, and accessing your personal data. High risk impact extensions are not necessarily malicious. However, if they do turn malicious, they can be very harmful.

Audio Downloader Prime requires some sensitive permissions that could impact your browser and data security. Exercise caution before installing.
