You need to know the rules for uploading music to VKontakte
Hello, friends! Social networks have become an integral part of our lives. With their help, we communicate, find clients for business, earn money via the Internet, and of course, relax. The VKontakte social network allows you not only to add music from other people’s accounts and groups, but also to upload your own audio files from your computer. There are rules that will help you safely upload music to VK:
- the audio recording must be 200 megabytes in size (otherwise the file will not download);
- The recording format must be mp3;
- music downloaded to VK must not violate any copyright.
In fact, free information that can be downloaded on the Internet, especially music, does not carry copyright. If we talk about paid information products on the Internet, then copyright is assigned to them. How to add an audio recording from a computer to VK? Everything is very simple. Next, we will act according to the instructions.
How to download VKontakte music to your phone for free
Today it is increasingly difficult to find a user who does not use social networks. Most often, the choice of users falls on VKontakte, since this resource is maximally adapted to the needs of the majority. Here you can chat with friends, watch movies of any resolution, and listen to your favorite music. In addition, the application allows you to join various public groups, learn something new, and share information with others. Another important quality of VK is that this site opens equally well both on a computer and on mobile devices, on the same phone or tablet. For example, on a smartphone you can perform the same actions as on a PC, including easily listening to music and downloading it to your device. So, I want to tell you how to download VKontakte music to your phone for free. And we have already looked at how to do this on a PC earlier here.
Method one
There are a lot of applications that will help you download your favorite tracks from VK to your phone, but I will tell you about those that I have tried myself. I suggest starting with ES Explorer.
- To begin, launch the VKontakte application itself and go to your page.
- Now open your audio files and select the song you want to download.
- If you click on the track name that appears at the bottom of the window, it will expand to full screen. Please note that it must load completely, you will understand this by the blue stripe.
- Now launch the Explorer previously downloaded from Google Play ES. In the top left menu, click on the menu icon, then select “Tools” and activate “Show hidden files.”
- Open the .vkontakte – cache – audio folder, as a result you will end up in the folder where all the tracks you listened to are stored. Accordingly, you can produce them with the built-in ES Media Player.
other methods
If the first method seemed too complicated for you or you simply don’t like it, I can offer alternative options. To download music from VK to your phone, there are many programs that can be found in the free application store (Android Market). Among them, the following are deservedly popular:
- VK Music
- Vk Music player VKontakte
- Download VK music
- VKontakte download music
- VKontakte Music and Video and others.
These are different programs, but they are similar in functionality. Perhaps I will not dwell on the principles of their operation; there is nothing special to explain, the algorithm of actions is elementary. What these applications have in common is that they all have an easy-to-understand interface and that they can be downloaded absolutely free.
That's probably all, I hope you can choose a truly comfortable application for yourself.

How to add a song (audio recording) to the VKontakte social network from your phone
Published: 02/17/2016
In one of the most popular articles on our site, we talked about how to add a song (audio recording) to the VKontakte social network from a computer or laptop.
The article turned out to be popular.
At the moment, this publication has already collected more than 113,000 views!
That is, more than 113 thousand people were interested in the question of how to add a song to VK from a computer or laptop.
At the same time, many questions also come about how to add a song (audio recording) to the VKontakte social network from your phone.
To meet your problems and wishes, we will tell you how to upload songs to VK from an Android phone, for which we will use the Kate Mobile application for VKontakte.
No matter how much we studied the options of a special application called “VKontakte” for Android, we were unable to find a function for adding audio.
This means that the option to download audio songs in the official VKontakte application is either absent altogether or hidden “behind 7 locks” in the depths of the application...
But this doesn’t matter, since the easiest way to upload your VK songs from your phone is in 2 ways:
- through a regular mobile browser on an Android phone;
- through the Kate Mobile application (you can also download audio from VK using the same application).
1. First, you will have to download this Kate Mobile Lite to your phone from Google Play or some other site. Means:
a) go to Google Play and write “Kate Mobile Lite for Vkontakte” in the search bar;
b) download Kate Mobile to your Android phone and install it;
c) open the application and enter your data from the Contact - Login and Password.
Note: if Kate Mobile Lite cannot be found on Google Play, look for it through Yandex or Google of your smartphone.
IMPORTANT: On Google Play you will immediately be offered to download Kate Mobile Installer, BUT this is not the Android application that we need!
We need the light version for Vkontakte, and not the full set of programs for the smartphone from Kate Mobile, and the full version sometimes has errors.
Find the light version and install it - that will be enough.
2. After authorization, the features of working in “Kate Mobile Lite for Vkontakte” will depend on the model and screen size of your phone. If the phone is medium-sized, the desired option will be on the “Profile” tab.
If the screen is large - in the menu on the left.
Be that as it may, you need to go to the “AUDIO” menu. The functionality of the application is quite standard.
If you have ever used similar applications for Android, you will easily understand the options and find the “AUDIO” menu.
3. In the Audio menu, notice the ellipses in the upper right corner. Clicking on this vertical ellipsis will open all possible options. The top one is Download.
4. Click the “Download” option and then act according to the situation. Too much here depends on your smartphone and the programs already installed. The main thing is to open the file you need in the memory of your Android phone.
How to do it?
a) use the “Select file” or “File manager” option (this is if you are asked to open a file from the Google profile memory);
b) select the application from which you will download audio (for example, phone memory or cloud storage).
In general, at this stage it is difficult to give recommendations, since we all have completely different content of our phones.
That is, the system can offer different options each time, depending on the applications that you already have installed and running, depending on the previous settings of your phone.
Besides, everyone’s songs are stored in different folders!
And we won’t be able to give exact instructions on where you should look for your own personal songs in your own personal phone...
Since you know your phone better than anyone else in this world, we leave further operations to find the right songs on your phone to your personal intuition.
THE MAIN THING is that you can add a song (audio recording) to the VKontakte social network from your phone through the “Kate Mobile Lite for VKontakte” application, but if this looks too complicated, just use a computer or laptop - uploading audio there will be easier.
Adding music to VK dialogues
How to add music to VK dialogues? To do this, go to your messages, select any dialogue and click on the paper clip icon. (Figure 6).
Then add any downloaded audio recording and attach it to the dialogue. Music is added instantly, so you can share your favorite music with your friends and acquaintances.
Sending multiple files.
You can send several files using the method described above, attaching them one after the other. But what if there are a large number of them?
In order to send multiple files in a folder, you need to first archive it, then the folder will appear as one compressed file.
Click on the folder you want to send to another person on VKontakte, right-click and select “Archive”.
The ability to archive files requires the installation of special programs for this, for example WinRAR.
Zipped files are much more convenient to use and transfer and take up less space.
Playlist and adding music there
To add an audio recording to a playlist on VK, first create it. To do this, you need to go to the “music” section again and click on “playlists”, “add playlist”. (Figure 8).
Next, enter the playlist name and description. Then click save. After saving, your playlist will appear in your list. You can upload music there as follows. Click again on the created playlist and add audio recordings. Music can be distributed in order and then you will know where it is.
How to send a song to “VKontakte” in the application?
Users of the official mobile application first need to enter a dialogue in messages with the person to whom the tracks should be sent. Here you need to press the button with a paper clip to call up a menu of additional functions.
Next, in the “Music” section, you can select the songs that you want to send. You can click on multiple songs at once to attach them to a message.
To search for songs across all VK music, you need to enter the corresponding query in the search bar. Here, too, you can select several tracks at once to attach them to a message. After this, you can click on the “Attach” button.
Songs added to the message will appear in the dialog. In order to send them, you just need to click on the send message button.
How to add a prohibited, blocked audio recording
If you try to add a song that was previously removed at the request of the copyright holder, VKontakte will give you the following warning -
Renaming the file will not help in this case. A solution to the problem can be working with the audio file in various music editors. Changing the key, adding noise or varying the dynamics of the track may help, but all this can negatively affect the quality of the music. More detailed information about this can be read on habrahabr.
Despite the bans, it is still possible to find and listen to almost any track on VKontakte, the main thing is to search carefully. Thank you for your attention!

However, have you ever wondered where these compositions come from here? The answer is quite obvious - these are ordinary users, just like you and me, who download them from their computers.

You have two ways to add audio recordings to your playlist:
1. You can add recordings using audio search results or from the list of recordings of musical works by other users.

– Secondly, not all users know how to upload music to a popular service from their computer.
1. Go to the “My audio recordings” section. 2. In the upper right corner, immediately below the player line, on the “My audio recordings” tab, click on the “plus sign”.
3. Click on the “Select file” button in the window that opens. 4. Select the file you want to download and press the “Open” button. 5. Everything is ready. Now you can see this musical composition in your playlist.
When uploading an audio recording to a social network, you need to remember three important conditions:
1. The audio file you upload must not infringe copyright. 2. The audio recording must be in MP3 format. 3. The size of the downloaded audio recording should not exceed 200 MB.
The popular social service has no restrictions on the number of audio recordings that can be downloaded or added.
Please note that you can edit the name of the audio file if you wish. To do this, you need to hover your mouse over the song that you want to edit in the My Audio Recordings
, and you will find an
Edit
.
