Today I decided to publish a rather interesting help that should solve the problem with music in the latest version of the VKontakte application for iOS. This will be useful to most users, especially music lovers. Surely many have noticed that in the VK App 2.2 application the “my audio recordings” item has disappeared, which at first glance makes it impossible to enter this section, and therefore users can no longer listen to their audio recordings. However, smart people have found a solution to this problem.
First, let's figure out why the audio recordings disappeared. The fact is that a significant part of the music on the VKontakte social network is illegal, that is, posted by users in violation of copyright. The policy of the AppStore, which hosts the VK App, prohibits the publication of applications that provide access to illegal content. The VKontakte administration has assured that this problem is being solved, but let's face it: until music on VKontakte is completely legalized, the problem is unlikely to ever be solved. Therefore, in order not to lose the application from the AppStore and not to deprive millions of users of the opportunity to install the application for iOS or update it to fix bugs and get new features, it was decided to temporarily disable the music section.
However, the section was not completely disabled. Only the “My audio recordings” link from the main menu has disappeared, but the section itself is still available in the application. To access it, you just need to make a special bookmark through the desktop version of VKontakte, through which we will go to the audio recordings section. Let's take a closer look. So.
Instructions: how to return the audio recordings section in the VK App 2.2 application for iOS:
After completing this simple sequence of actions, you will have a fully functional link to the section with your audio recordings.
To access music through the mobile application for iOS, you also need to go to the bookmarks section on the “Links” tab and follow our link, which we added a little earlier.
Ready! We got into the audio recordings section through the VK App for iOS! Happy listening, music lovers! The social network VK at some point completely replaced conventional audio players on the computer. The convenient section with songs has captivated a huge number of users who use it every day. People add recordings to themselves, but do not always know how to delete music on VK. Below are several ways to do this.
Deleting all audio recordings using the VkOpt addon
VkOpt is a plugin that expands the user functionality of a profile on the VKontakte social network (downloading/editing content, Last.fm scrobbler, quick access to settings, etc.). Supported by all popular browsers: Firefox, Google Chrome, Opera.
Warning!
Download VkOpt only on the developer’s website (vkopt.net) or on the official website of the browser extensions you use. A plugin installed from other sources may be infected with a virus.
So, let's look in detail at how to delete music on VKontakte using the VkOpt addon (instructions for Google Chrome).
Installation and configuration
1. Click the “three stripes” shortcut (settings and management) in the upper right corner of the browser interface.
2. Go to the "Extensions" section.
4. In the “Search by store” field, enter the query VkOpt and press “Enter”.
5. The first plugin in the search results will be the plugin you are looking for. Click the “+ Free” button in its field.
Note.
Beware of fakes! On the download page for the original VkOpt, the source is vkopt.net (offsite!).
6. Wait for the installation to complete. Open the list of installed addons again: Settings → Extensions.
7. In the VkOpt block, enable the “Allow opening files...” setting (check the box).
8. Restart your browser.
Launch
1. Go to your VKontakte page.
2. The VkOpt settings window “Thank you for installing...” will appear.
3. Select the interface language: click on the flag and click “OK”.
4. Refresh the page: press the "F5" key.
Editing audio recordings
1. To delete a song/songs, hover over the My Audio section.
2. In the additional menu, select “-My Audio”.
3. In addition to selectively deleting (see the method described above) stored music, VkOpt also provides the ability to completely clear a partition of tracks. To completely delete a music collection, click the [Delete all] function in the block located to the right of the list of tracks.
4. In the additional window, confirm activation of the function: click “Yes”. After these steps, all audio recordings will be deleted. You can start creating a new selection of your favorite hits. Again, using the VkOpt options - adding a track from the main page, viewing audio collections from friends (Updates).
Enjoy your time on VK, dear reader!
The social network VK at some point completely replaced conventional audio players on the computer. The convenient section with songs has captivated a huge number of users who use it every day. People add recordings to themselves, but do not always know how to delete music on VK. Below are several ways to do this.
Flash Player is not working properly
To play various content on the Internet, you may need Flash Player, which is a utility distributed free of charge through the Adobe website. This utility is also required to play VKontakte music. If music does not work in VK, first of all make sure that Flash Player is installed on your computer and updated to the latest version.
If the Adobe product is not downloaded on your computer, you can download it from this link from the official website of the developers for free.
Please note: After installing
Adobe Flash Player on your computer, be sure to restart your browser, otherwise the changes will not take effect.
Problems with the data transfer protocol
Currently, most sites on the Internet use the secure https protocol to transmit data to resource visitors. The social network VKontakte also works on this protocol. If a user accesses the network using http, it should automatically redirect to https, but with certain browser and network settings this may not happen.
To solve the problem and listen to music, just log into VKontakte using the https protocol. That is, you need to follow this direct link to appear in your audio recordings: https://vk.com/audio.
Please note: If you have already found the music you are interested in through a search and do not want to leave the page, simply change the http protocol to https in the address bar of your browser forcibly, and you will find yourself on the desired page, where there should be no problems with playing music.
Changing shortcut keys
To change the keyboard shortcut, use the “VK Music Player” extension. It allows you to control music playback, even if the browser is in minimized mode.
- Download the “VK Music Player” extension.
- Go to the browser hotkey settings page. To do this, open the “Extension shortcuts” item on the extensions tab or enter the command chrome://extensions/configureCommands in the address bar.
- Find the “VK Music Player” item and set the key combination to control the audio player.
- Set the “Global” option next to the changed items so that the combinations work when the browser is minimized.
Combinations for controlling an audio player
You can control the audio player on the VKontakte social network using hotkeys.
- Alt + K - play/pause;
- Alt + L - next song;
- Alt + J - previous song.
On some keyboards, you must press the Fn key before using combinations. Hotkeys work if you have already turned on music, and the track name is displayed in the site header. The control function using combinations is available for browsers based on the Chromium engine: for example, for Chrome, Opera and Yandex.Browser.

We got into the audio recordings section through the VK App for iOS! Happy listening, music lovers! On the evening of September 15, VKontakte users complained about the disappearance of audio recordings. Music has disappeared from both the web version and social network applications.
Some users claim that all added audio recordings have disappeared from the mobile and web versions of the social network. For others, some of the tracks have been preserved.
All added audio recordings have also disappeared from mobile applications. In addition, sections with music have disappeared from social network communities.
At the same time, there are no problems with playing music on the social network. In addition, users have access to the “Popular” section - for some users it automatically opens when they click on “Audio Recordings”.
September 12, 2021 "VKontakte" section with music in the social network application for iPhone, which was removed in February 2015 at the request of Apple. The company explained that this became possible after “the signing of an agreement on licensing music content between VKontakte and the world’s largest majors - Universal Music Group, Warner Music Group and Sony Music Entertainment.”
Currently, VKontakte has various opportunities for monetizing music and video content in collaboration with copyright holders and UMA (United Media Agency), which is engaged in “clearing” music rights for Mail.Ru Group, which owns the social network. At the same time, the social network stated that they do not plan to introduce fees for listening to music in their native mobile applications and the web version of VKontakte.

Less than an hour after the first reports of a failure, VKontakte restored part of the audio recordings. However, the social network itself began to malfunction.
Updated at 10:50 p.m.
VKontakte representative Evgeny Krasnikov, in a conversation with vc.ru, explained the situation as a “technical error.” When asked whether the failure was related to work on monetizing music content, he answered in the negative. According to Krasnikov, social network specialists are now working to return users’ playlists.
The VKontakte social network is not only a place where users can communicate with each other and share various information.
For many, this is a real music center. The social network contains thousands of terabytes of music, among which you can find albums from both well-known performers and amateur bands. A large number of users regularly listen to VKontakte music, and they may encounter a problem that at one point it simply stops starting or does not work on one of their computers. In this article, we will consider the question of why music does not work in VK and what can be done about it. Table of contents:
How to remove VK music from my audio recordings
First, we need to go to our page and select the tab.
We get to the page with our audio recordings. This is your playlist of music that you like. Although maybe you are one of those people who add everything, then this post will help you, you can clean everything up.
Now to delete, we need to find the desired audio recording and a cross will appear on the right, immediately behind it. When we point at it, the message “Delete audio recording” appears.
Well, it's really simple, isn't it? I don’t know about you, but I don’t think this procedure is very complicated, although don’t rush to “throw tomatoes at me,” as if you already knew that. The fact is that my resource is read by a variety of people, even those who are just learning to computer.
Honestly, when I registered with VKontakte in 2008, I couldn’t even imagine that it would take so long. I thought I would come here once a week to read messages from friends, but here it is.
The VK website presents many useful functions:
- chat with friends;
- watching videos;
- listening to music;
- exchange of photographs, pictures;
- time spent playing games.
