Possible problems when adding music

Users often have difficulties adding tracks to their own page. For example, a file categorically refuses to download or a window with an error constantly pops up.

The following factors may be the reason:

1. The audio file does not meet the service requirements mentioned at the beginning of the article. You must make sure that the track is in mp3 format and its size does not exceed 200 MB. Otherwise, you won't be able to add it to your profile.
2. Poor Internet connection speed. A bad network may also result in an error. You need to check for a stable connection and try again a little later.
3. Problem with the social network servers. You need to wait 30-60 minutes and try adding music again.

If the service still continues to generate an error, then you need to contact support. Just don’t forget about attaching a file, which will cause an error when added.

Ask a Question

Question to the expert

For what reason does VK not load songs when the display is turned off, the music stops playing?

Each smartphone has a 30-minute background playback limit.

I created a playlist of my favorite songs on my smartphone. Can I add only one or two songs from it to my page, or will the entire playlist be added?

Of course, you can add only one song you want. The entire playlist will not be downloaded.

I really like one composition, but it is subject to copyright and I cannot add it to my profile. What should I do?

You need to change the song title and artist name in the file properties. You can increase or decrease the bitrate of a song. As a rule, this helps.

"Life hacks" for owners of smartphones on the iOS operating system

After limiting the background player function in the official VKontakte application, users discovered several more options for downloading music to their smartphone.

Let's find out how to add an audio recording to “Contact”

VKontakte is the most famous social network in Russia, Ukraine and Belarus. People appreciate it not only for its pleasant and convenient interface and the opportunity to communicate with any acquaintance, relative, friend or stranger, but also for pleasant entertainment bonuses, which include videos, images, games, applications and, of course, music. It is the latter that we will talk about, or rather, how to add an audio recording to “Contact”. It turns out that not everyone knows how to do this. Anyone who does not know the algorithm of actions simply does not know how easy it is, but even a first-grader can cope with such a task.

Thanks to various innovations, music can appear in your playlist in several ways, the main thing is to know how. You can add an audio recording to Contact either by briefly searching for a song on the site itself, or by adding your own music, which is located directly on your computer.

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.

Add an existing song to audio recordings

As mentioned earlier, VKontakte is the most famous social network. Something new appears in it regularly, including music. Now you will learn how to add an audio recording to Contact in just a second.

• Go to “My Audio Recordings” (you can also click on the word “music” in the site header).
• Enter the name of the song we need.
• We move the mouse cursor towards the duration of the composition, we see a plus appearing and the inscription “Add to my audio recordings”.
• Feel free to click on this “+” and see how it changes to a checkmark, which means that the mission is completed and the song has been added.
• Enjoy the appearance of the desired audio recording in your playlist.

PS You can add an unlimited number of compositions this way. True, after every tenth you will have to enter a captcha.

Method one – simple, legal, convenient, paid

This method was proposed by the “mailrush” people themselves, as a continuation of the VKontakte policy.

The method is to simply install the Boom application - a kind of musical offshoot of the popular social network.

Boom app

The application itself is downloaded for free from Google Play and gives you a wide range of functionality for mastering the music part of VKontakte.

Here you will find selections of popular releases, various original music collections, the ability to “smartly” search for tracks based on the tunes you like, and much more.

Both as a promotion for musicians and as a way to maintain your own musical erudition, such an application is an excellent solution.

You are always in the conversation with modern music trends, do not miss new releases and get access to the entire VKontakte music database - and all this is free.

However, Boom has certain logical limitations.

For example, the app only allows you to listen to 30 minutes of music per day and prevents it from being cached on your phone.

That is, every time you start a track, it is loaded from scratch, using up your Internet limit.

You can bypass these restrictions for a small amount of 150 rubles/month.

When you pay for a monthly subscription, Boom gives you unlimited music listening, as well as the ability to save tracks on your phone.

Part of the money you pay goes directly to the musicians, which is also nice for a true fan.

In general, Boom is the easiest way to legally receive any music from Vkontakte on your phone for quite reasonable money.

Here we can also mention the Yandex.Music service, which appeared even earlier than Boom and is made a little more technologically, however, the Yandex service is not directly tied to Vkontakte, and we are still considering this option.

If the need to pay for access to music does not suit you, move on to plan “B”.

Or rather, to other services that provide the opportunity to download music from VK to Android for free.

Adding audio to a wall

If you understand that the song you heard is so beautiful that resting quietly and modestly in audio recordings is not for it, then it’s time to learn how to share it with others. A wall is ideal for this - a place where both your friends and random people regularly visit. This is where you need to send your wonderful song (or even more than one, but diluted with pictures). This is where knowledge of how to attach an audio recording in Contact to a wall comes in handy. Let's get started:

• Click “My Page” and get ready to post on the wall.
• Move the mouse cursor to “Attach” and select “Audio recording” from the drop-down list.
• A window appears with the words “Attaching an audio recording”, where there is a search bar and already added music. If the one we have suits us, select “Add audio recording”; if not, enter the desired composition, and then press the same button.
• We see how the song has already been attached to the recording on the wall. You can add up to ten songs to one publication.
• Click “Send” and admire the result.
