1. Introduction
In an era when streaming services are everywhere, there are still cases when music and video consumers need toenjoy their favorite music, songs, and videos in a completely offline environment. The all-new StreamFab aims tooffer music fans and videophiles a comprehensive solution to download online music (up to 320 kbps in quality)and videos (up to 8K in quality), play and watch the downloaded media files with its default associated 4K media
player PlayerFab, and manage and organize the entire media library in a better and professional way.
StreamFab has two PC versions for Windows and macOS respectively, a mobile app for Android. The PC versions
include 41 basic modules for now that can be purchased separately, the YouTube to MP3 (used to be named as
Music Downloader for a while), the YouTube Downloader, 35 other streaming downloaders, two DRM
Downloaders (DRM M3U8 Downloader and DRM MPD Downloader) and two adult Services (R18 Downloader
and FANZA Downloader). But by installing the PC versions on your computer, all the modules will be installed at
one go. The Android version however, can only support Amazon and Netflix. In either case, if you only ordered
one of the three modules, then you can only use particular features accordingly.
Features at a glance:• Download tons of online music & videos from 1000+ websites• Download DRM-protected subscriber-only videos from Netflix, Disney+, HBO Max, Apple TV and more
• Choose your preferred audio quality from 128 kbps to 320 kbps
