Saving music by reposting

Regular users of the VK social network know what reposts are. Other people will understand everything now. You already know how to save music on VK by downloading it from your computer, but this process is quite long. If you want to save a track that has been freely available on VK for a long time, then this can be done much easier and faster .

So there are several ways here. The first and simplest involves finding the required composition and adding it to your audio library. To do this, go to “Audio Recordings” and enter the song you want to save in the search bar. All found options should be displayed in front of you. Here you can listen to what you are looking for. If you are satisfied with the result, then move the mouse cursor over the plus sign “+”, which is located on the right side of the composition name. And left-click (LMB) on it. After that, refresh the page and you will notice that this song has been added to your audio recordings.

Now the second way. If you find an audio recording on the wall of your friends or in some group, then you can repost the recording to your wall, thereby saving it. Just look for the horn icon under the post, click on it, select “Friends & Follows,” and click “Share Post.”

If you want to know how to delete saved music in VK, then everything is simple. In your “Audio Recordings”, click the cross icon, which is located in place of the plus sign “+”.

Save music to your computer

Now let's talk about how to add music to saved files on your computer in VK. Unfortunately, there is no such function in VK itself, so we will use the auxiliary program VKMusic.

So, download and run this program. Now you need to go to the “Vkontakte” menu → “My audio recordings”. Since this is the first time you are launching the program, you will be prompted to enter your VK account information. Next, you will see a list of your music from VK. To download it, click on the corresponding icon next to the track name. This is a down arrow. The download will begin.

Saving music to Android

Now all that remains is to talk about how to save music in VK on Android. And doing this is also quite simple.

To begin, log into the “Audio Recordings” section from your device. In the search, enter the name you are looking for and start playing. Now you need to wait until the composition loads completely. This will be indicated by a blue stripe that runs a little faster from the playback circle. When it reaches the end, at the top, click the download icon, indicated by a downward arrow. The composition should now appear in the saved files. This way you can listen to music without an Internet connection.

How to save music in VK on Android via Telegram bot

One of the Telegram bots will help you save your favorite songs from the VK social network to your smartphone. Most often, music lovers use the following resources:

• @youaudiobot - allows you to listen to music without any restrictions. You can download your favorite song and listen to it in the background, even without an Internet connection. In addition, upon request, the bot will send a selection of popular or recent hits;
• @MyMusicBot - this bot allows you to listen to your favorite tracks without restrictions. A special feature of the program is the ability to preload tracks from your own playlist (command /mymusic) into the cache. You can run a bot in Telegram to download VK music on your home Internet, and then just listen to tunes on the street;
• @vkm_bot – there is a similar toolkit here. Uploading and subsequent listening to audio files from VK takes place on the fly. Such a decision, in fact, is illegal and helps to gain free access to the objects of their copyright behind the backs of copyright holders;
• @vkm4bot is the most functional bot of all. Helps to access the playlist of a specific user or some public page;
• @yandex_music_bot is an unofficial bot from yandex that allows you to download music from the Yandex Music application without restrictions.

Let's figure out how to properly configure the most common bot @youaudiobot.

1. We find him on Telegram.

2. Click on the “Run” button on the screen.

3. Help information is automatically sent that tells you how to further work with this bot.

4. Click on the “My Audio” button. Next, the bot needs to send a link, ID or username of its profile, or the profile of a user or even a group. Audio recordings or groups must be open.

5. After this, you can enjoy your favorite music.

6. If you click on the “Popular” button, you can get a list of tracks that users are currently listening to.

7. If you click on the “New Products” section, you can see a list of the most hit compositions.

As you can see, downloading music from the VKontakte social network is not at all difficult. This can be done either legally or using pirated programs. When using programs, it is better to choose one that supports caching. This will help save mobile Internet traffic.

I follow news on the mobile services market. Always up to date with the latest events

What free methods are there?

More recently it became known that there are also free methods

bypass this limitation (thanks to smart users).
At the moment, 3 such methods are known. So, if you need to know how to remove restrictions
on background music listening, read:

Article update dated 07/09/2019:

In addition to the following

methods that still work, we have written an article for you about how to download music from VK on an iPhone and save it to the device’s memory for further offline listening. You can also simply listen to songs without restrictions. All the details are in that article.

Article update from 05/13/19:

Perhaps many have already guessed, but for those who have not yet, I would like to tell you about a small life hack

.
In order to continue listening to music after the restriction message appears, do the following
: go to settings, in the auto-lock screen section, check the “
Never
” box so that the phone screen is not blocked and the music does not go into background listening mode.

Next, so that the phone’s battery drains much, much slower in this mode, we set the screen brightness to minimum

and continue to enjoy music on VKontakte.

Yes, perhaps not everyone will like this method of bypassing music restrictions, but the main thing is that it solves it, and this is the most important thing. For example, if you listen to music in the car, then it will really help you continue listening to your favorite music.

Article update from 11/21/18:

A new way to listen to music on VKontakte without restrictions:

Step 1.

Go to the menu “Settings” - “General” - “Date and time”.
Step 2:
Uncheck “Automatic” to be able to select the date and time manually.
Step 3.
Click on the line that appears with the current date.
Step 4:
Set the date to yesterday. For example, if today is November 21, then you need to select November 20.

Ready! Immediately after setting the new date, music on VKontakte will be available for listening in the background without any restrictions. You can change the date to the current one immediately by simply turning on the “Automatic” checkbox. For the next hour (and in some cases more), music from VKontakte will be played in the background without problems.

Method 1:

Suitable for those who have headphones with a button:

1)

We connect the headphones to the smartphone
2)
Open the VK application
3)
Play any track and pause it
4)
Lock the smartphone
5)
Start the music using the button on the headphones
6)
Enjoy the background music)

Updated 11/01/2017

From November 1, the limit of free music on VKontakte has been reduced to 30 minutes

. Very sad.

Important!

Please note that in future application updates, these workarounds
will most likely be closed.
Therefore, before the next update, think carefully! Perhaps after the updates, our methods regarding how to listen to music on VK without restrictions will no longer be relevant.

Time passes, but the policy of the social network VKontakte regarding music remains the same - no way! The benefit of tight-fisted copyright holders is more important than our desire to listen to our favorite tunes for free. Do you want a holiday? Sign up for a paid subscription. Then, so be it, you will have access to the music library for the whole day, but don’t even think about downloading something to your computer. Are you ready to put up with this? Me not.

Online services

Websites accessible from both PCs and mobile devices via a browser. To use them, find the service page by name using the browser search page.

Note! Regardless of the selected option, the songs will be saved to the “Downloads” or another folder set by the user in the browser settings.

The DownloadMusicVK service refused to provide a list of songs with an open profile and full access to audio.

We recommend: My Android tablet is very slow, what should I do?

Music 7s

For the project to open songs:

1. Open the official VK application. Go to your profile.

2. Expand menu "More".

3. Select from below "Settings".

4. Sign in "Privacy".

5. In point “Who sees the list of my audio recordings” put "All users".

Next step:

1. Return to the personal page tab.
2. Press and hold your finger on the ID at the top and select "Copy".

3. Open the service website.
4. Paste the link to the page into the form and click "Get list of songs".

5. A list of tracks will appear that you can listen to and download by clicking on the download icon.

6. At the top there is a list of friends whose audio will be available for listening if their audio tracks are open to everyone. Nearby there is a selection of user-created playlists.

Important! Activate your VK account through a running browser, otherwise you will not be able to access the tracks.

Free Internet services

Luxvk.com

Luxvk. com is a very easy-to-use service for downloading audio recordings from VKontakte to a PC or mobile device on Android. Works quickly and smoothly. It does not require registration - just log in to the VK website through it and log in to your account. The service has a built-in player, a music search function and a chat for communication (the latter was not working at the time of my visit). Next to each downloaded track there is a download button. There is no function for simultaneous downloading of several files.

Luxvk.com has, perhaps, only one drawback - it only downloads music from your page. So if you want to download a track that is not in your list of audio recordings, add it to yourself first.

Kissvk.com

service . com is almost identical to Luxvk.com. More precisely, it is even more concise and simple: apart from the function of downloading and searching for music on your page, it does not contain anything, not even a player. If you want to listen to the song before downloading, you will have to go to the VK website.

Music.ya.wiki

Music.i. wiki is a multidisciplinary music service. It is a large collection of recordings of various genres and artists with the ability to listen online, as well as download to your computer and mobile device. Downloading music from VKontakte is one of its functions.

To upload compositions from your VK account to the Music.ya.wiki website, just log in to the social network through it and allow access to the recordings. There is also no option to download multiple files at the same time.

In addition, Music.ya.wiki allows you to include your music tracks in playlists along with other songs and listen to them on the service page. But this requires registration.

Savefrom

assistant . net is one of the most popular audio, video and photo downloads from VK, still at its best. Distributed as an application for web browsers Opera WebKit, Firefox, Google Chrome and Yandex (during installation, you can select one or more browsers in which you will use the service).

All Savefrom.net does is add a “Download” button to the list of VK tracks. And when you hover the cursor over this button, it shows the size and birtate of the file.

The assistant is good, but also not without its shortcomings. The following caught my eye:

• During installation, it tries to fill your computer with garbage (if you don’t want to clean the system of all kinds of “browser managers” and Yandex panels, select the “Configure settings” option and uncheck unnecessary boxes).
• It requires a browser restart to complete the installation.
• In the latest version of Opera, the extension did not work.

DMV (Download Music VKontakte)

DMV service also offers to install itself in the browser. After installation, clicking on its button (located at the top of the VK audio recordings section and on the browser extensions panel) will take you to a page where all music recordings from your account are automatically downloaded. In addition to downloading, each recording can be listened to and sent in comments, or more precisely, a link to it can be uploaded to the general user chat, which is located here.

The main difference between DMV and previous services is the ability to listen and download music not only from your VK page, but also from the “Recommendations”, “Popular” and “Listen” sections. In addition, any composition can be added to the “My Audio Recordings” list - and it will be saved in your VKontakte account.

Using Plugins

In order to easily save music from VKontakte, you can download and install a special plugin in your browser. The most popular of them are:

1. . It can be downloaded from the website of the same name. After downloading, all that remains is to install the plugin. If the program does not start, check whether your computer is blocking files downloaded from unknown sources. The extension will be automatically installed in the browser. After that, open the “Music” page on VKontakte and find the file you want to download. An arrow will appear next to it, clicking on which will start the file download process.

1. . The principle of its operation is similar to the previous one. First of all, it needs to be installed. Please note that the plugins for Chrome and Mozilla are different, so install the version for the browser you use most often. The fact that the plugin has been installed will be indicated by the appearance of an icon in the form of three multi-colored circles on the main browser panel. Go to the VKontakte website and click on the track you want to download. After that, click on the icon with circles on the main panel. A menu will open in front of you, in which you need to select the “Download” item. All you have to do is set the save path and, after a couple of seconds, the file will appear on your computer.

1. . To download this plugin, just go to the specified website and click on the “Install for free” button. After this, a window will appear in which you will need to confirm your actions. You will immediately see a list of all the songs that are saved on your VKontakte page. Select the desired track and click on the icon that indicates downloading. Now you can save any tunes you like on your page, and they will immediately appear in the plugin.

Using extensions does not require lengthy installation. After just a minute, you can start downloading any tracks.

PC Applications

VKontakteDJ (user choice)

VKontakteDJ is a free program that allows you to download music and videos from VK and other sources (Youtube, Rutube, Vimeo). VKontakte DJ is safe, easy to install and use. Allows you to download both individual files and entire albums.

VKMusic

VKMusic is a simple, convenient, free application for downloading music, videos and photo albums from the VK social network. Completely autonomous, works regardless of the browser. After installation and the first launch, it will prompt you to log in to VKontakte, after which you can upload content to it.

Downloading audio content is available from the sections:

• My audios.
• Audio recordings of friends and groups (to access them, the program will ask you to provide a link to your friend’s or group’s account).
• Musical recommendations.
• Popular music.

Next to each track uploaded to VKMusic there is a button “Add to download”. The list of those selected for downloading is in the lower half of the window. By the way, the program supports batch downloading of files – all or only those noted in this list.

How to download music from VK to Android using applications

If you have no desire to pay for downloading music, then we turn to illegal methods. There are a lot of pirated applications with which you can quickly download your favorite song to your smartphone.

Kiss VK

A fairly simple service, thanks to which you can find and download compositions of any artists or groups in a matter of seconds. Your own audio recordings are also available for download, they are displayed next to the search bar. You can download the Kiss VK program here.

VMP

This application will help you listen to any music that is on the VKontakte social network. There is a convenient search for melodies, recommendations sections and management of profile audio recordings. There are no advertisements, and you can even download songs that are closed from other users.

There are additional options. For example, the text of the tracks being played is displayed here and caching is supported.

DownloadMusicVK

This is a very convenient program that allows you to download songs from your own audio recordings, as well as from friends and in different groups. This application has recommendations, different charts and the ability to quickly download clips.

In addition to all this, there is a built-in player that displays track data. There is also flexible download management.

Vrit.me

This program allows you to download your favorite songs to your smartphone even without installing applications. The sequence of actions is as follows:

• Go to the website vritme.net
• Click on the Login button and authorize the application through your page on the VKontakte social network;
• Within a few seconds the site will reload and after that you can view all saved audio recordings;
• If you need to download something, then click on the arrow to the right of the track you like and get an mp3 file.

There are no advertisements in this program. All user data is reliably protected, and the content is checked for viruses.

You can download ringtones not only to your smartphone, but also to your tablet and computer.

Music 7s

The Music 7s service provides a lot of opportunities for both listening and downloading your favorite compositions. Here you can find not only your audio recordings, but also view new releases, popular tracks, and even choose songs to suit your mood. There is a division of music by genre, and there is a classic search.

After entering the site, you need to enter a link to your VK page in a special field to log in. Next, a list of your audio recordings and other sections of the site appears.

The site has a special section where all the most popular user problems and ways to solve them are collected. If something does not work out, it is recommended that you read this section.

Music 7s

Music 7s addon is very simple: after installation, a download button appears next to each music track and album on any VK page. Nothing extra.

VK Audio Downloader (VKD)

VKD has a few more features than the Music 7s. It downloads not only audio recordings, but also videos. It also shows the size and birtate of the file.

VKSaver

VKSaver is also not original - it works on the same principle as previous extensions. Downloads individual tracks, music albums and videos. Allows you to select a folder to save.

Download music VKontakte

VKontakte Music Download addon differs from its competitors in that it saves songs with the correct name (apparently, if it is written in the tags of the audio file), supports batch downloading of several tracks, and also, at the user’s request, downloads an extension to bypass VK blocking (relevant for residents of Ukraine). Like many analogues, when you hover over a track, it shows its size and bitrate, and also allows you to download music in entire albums.

MusVK

MusVK , if you look through the eyes of the user, is a complete analogue of the previous add-on.

In addition to those collected here, there are many more extensions with similar, if not identical, functions. I don’t think it’s worth listing everything. If necessary, you can easily find them by searching for “download VKontakte music”, “VK music”, etc. in the browser store.

Android Applications

In contrast to extensions for Google Chrome, applications for Android that would actually download music from VKontakte after all the “troubles” with copyrights are literally a thing of the past. I managed to find only 2. I present them below.

Music from contact - offline guide

The free mobile application Music from a contact - offline guide is intended for:

• Listening to music from social networks online and offline.
• Download audio files to your phone or tablet.
• Setting downloaded ringtones for calls.

Based on the principle of use, this application is reminiscent of Internet services - after authorization on the VK social network, it downloads a list of audio recordings from your page, where there are download and listen buttons next to each track. There is a built-in player and search engine.

In general, “Music from Contact” copes well with its tasks, but some of its features irritate users. Among them are suddenly pop-up advertising banners, clicking on which activates paid subscriptions, as well as a limited number of downloadable songs (maximum 100).

Browser extensions for downloading music from VK

To download music from the VK social network, you can also use browser capabilities.

All of these extensions are free, but they are supported by advertising, so you need to be prepared to view advertising content. When downloading such content, you should carefully look at the number of downloads and reviews, this will help you avoid catching a virus. After downloading the necessary compositions, it is recommended to disable or remove the extension

Extensions for Google Chrome / Yandex Browser

1. VK Music Saver.
2. VK Videos and Music Downloader.
3. VkOpt.
4. Music Downloader.

There are a lot of other extensions for this browser, with which you can quickly download music to your smartphone.

Extensions for Mozila Firefox

1. VKD.
2. Mediasave.
3. Savefromnet.

These programs can also be installed completely free of charge, but you must pay attention to the rating.

Extensions for Opera

1. .
2. Skyload.

There are a number of other extensions on the Internet that can be used to download musical compositions on the VKontakte social network. You should read reviews before using any of them.
