Everyone knows that through social networks people can freely communicate with each other, regardless of where they are. If you have an Internet connection, you can always access one or another social network. According to world statistics, it is known that the most visited Internet resource in Europe today is the social network VKontakte. We all know that the VKontakte social network is equipped with an excellent player and that most users actively use it. In addition to the fact that we can add music from groups and from the wall, we can also upload music to contact ourselves.
After all, you probably haven’t wondered where the music in VKontakte comes from, and most people have no idea how to upload it there. It is through this function that all VKontakte music groups raise their ratings. If it were impossible to upload music to contact, the groups would probably not have any popularity, and the player would not be needed, since it is unlikely that the administrators would be able to provide everyone with such voluminous content, and it would be irrational to do this. As you already understand, today we will talk about how to upload music to contact. Today we will look at 2 ways to upload music to this social network: to the “My audio recordings” tab and to the group.
