Subscribing to VKontakte music - a detailed guide

The VK website stores a huge collection of audio recordings. You can listen to popular artists and find rare tracks.

Access is provided in two versions - free and by subscription. The first imposes a number of restrictions - advertising inserts, limited listening time in the background, etc.

If you subscribe to VKontakte music, you will have full access to all available functions. In this guide, we will show you the process of signing up and canceling a subscription. Let's talk about discounts and promotional codes.

What's included in the subscription?

Below is a list of features, with some comments.

1. Complete music collection
   .
2. Background listening
   . On a mobile device, you can listen to tracks with the screen turned off for no more than 30 minutes a day. With a subscription, these restrictions are completely removed. There are a couple more tricks, we wrote about them in the instructions on listening to music in the background (read).
3. Disabling audio ads
   .
4. Listen to music without the Internet in the Boom application
   . There were also a couple of methods here that made it possible to achieve a similar result (see our version).

Many people argue about the validity of the subscription. Our opinion is that if you use the VK platform as the main tool for listening to music from all your devices, then the amount is 149 rubles. completely justified.

How to subscribe to VKontakte music?

Let's consider this process first from a computer, then from a mobile phone.

We work with PC

Open the website vk.com and log in to your page.

Now we need to open the menu in the upper right corner of the screen. Select “Settings” from the list. Then go to the “Payments, subscriptions, transfers” tab. Here we find and open the “Subscriptions” tab, and click on the “Subscribe” button.

In the next step we must click on the “Try for free” button. A window will appear where we will be informed that we agree to monthly payments through the VKpay service. If you agree with this, click “Connect via VK pay”.

Subscription payment agreement

We have already discussed in detail the connection and configuration of the VK Pay payment system - read our instructions. If you did this in advance, the payment will go through immediately. If not, you will first be asked to link your card.

After you click on the button, your subscription will be completed. And you will see a corresponding notification.

Subscription completed successfully

Now from an Android phone

Here by analogy. Open the VKontakte application and go to the “Settings” section (gear icon). Next in the list we find the item “Music subscription”. Go ahead and click on the “Try for free” button.

How to unsubscribe

Boom is free to use for one month. During this time you will understand whether the service suits you or not. Then you can cancel your paid subscription. The main thing is not to forget to unsubscribe, because the money will be automatically debited from the card every month.

Subscription to Boom works through the application store of the platform on which the subscription was issued: Google Play or App Store.

How to unsubscribe on Google Play

• Open Play Store.
• Go to the “Account” section through the side menu.
• Select the “Subscriptions” tab.
• Find the card with the inscription “VKontakte” and cancel the subscription in the “Management” menu.

How to unsubscribe from the App Store

• In the Settings app on your iOS device, select your name.
• Find the "iTunes Store and App Store" section and click on your Apple ID account at the top of the screen.
• From the pop-up menu, select View Apple ID.
• Open the “Subscriptions” section.
• Find “VKontakte” in the list and click the unsubscribe button.

On a computer, you can unsubscribe in the App Store only through iTunes, and on Google Play - through the browser in your account settings.

How can I cancel my subscription?

This procedure is also done in the “Payments, subscriptions, transfers” section, on the “Subscriptions” tab. After you have paid for access to the service, there will be a VK Pay link opposite the corresponding item. Click on it, and on the next page use the “Disable Subscription Renewal” link. We will receive a notification that payment for renewal will be disabled, and we will see until how long the service is valid.

This procedure can also be performed on your phone. In the application, open the settings, then go to the “Music subscription” section. In the next step, click on the “Manage subscription” item. And then click on the “Disable” link.

How to use it

So, you have joined the paid movement and are hungry for your goodies. On a computer, everything is simple - as soon as you pay a subscription fee in the application, all connections are synchronized with each other and you will not hear any more advertising. Unlimited listening to tracks in the background will be available on your phone, and your playlist will automatically be uploaded to Boom. Opposite each composition you will see a vertical ellipsis - click and explore your options.

It is impossible to subscribe to VK music for free in an honest way, but instructions for a dubious adventure are circulating online, which supposedly allows you to perform such an action. Its essence is as follows: the user pays for the service from a smartphone, and then, through the browser, immediately cancels it - reports an error, something like “a child accidentally pressed.”

Maybe similar manipulations with a free subscription will work the first time, keep in mind that when the developers of the social network suspect you of dishonest actions, your profile may be blocked with all the information on it.

If you are interested in how to gift a VK music subscription to a friend, the only solution is to transfer 149 rubles to his card. After that, he can pay for the music package through Boom himself. Alternatively, a friend can enter your card details when paying. Previously, the social network had an option to transfer votes (the official currency of the site), but today it is disabled. Currently, only gifts and stickers are allowed.

Boom VKontakte application

There is a special application that allows you to enjoy all the benefits that open up after subscribing. It's called Boom.

By installing it on your phone, you get access to the entire VKontakte music collection. You can download tracks to the application to listen to them without connecting to the network. There are no ads, a lot of different tools for working with multimedia.

You can install Boom from the official group.

https://vk.com/boom

Go there and click on the “Install” button.

Boom app

You will be automatically transferred to the appropriate app store:

• Google Play
  - if you are working from an Android device.
• iTunes
  - if you have an Apple device.

Carry out the installation as usual, then log in to the application using your VKontakte credentials. If a subscription is activated on your account, you can start working.

What will happen to music on the VKontakte social network itself?

Everything will remain the same, except that advertisements will play between songs.
It is also impossible to save music to the phone's memory. You can listen to only thirty minutes of music for free per day; you will have to pay for the rest. In addition, it is impossible to listen to your favorite tracks offline. For a long time, users were indignant at the actions of the administration of the social network, since music was paid, access was closed, certain songs refused to be played, advertising appeared, and so on. The situation has now been corrected. For the convenience of listening to VKontakte music, a service with a paid subscription was created. It allows you to listen to your favorite new releases unlimitedly.

Subscription

There are several options here:

1. Buy a music subscription using the installed application on your mobile phone.
2. Install Boom for Andro >From phone

If it is more convenient to subscribe on an Android phone or iPhone, then you only need the VKontakte application. There is no particular difference in the actions performed, so let’s take an Android smartphone as an example.

Open the application and go to your profile. Next, click on the three horizontal stripes in the lower right corner.

Go to Settings - click on the gear in the top right.

From the list of settings that opens, select “Music subscription.”

Below is a description of the benefits received:

1. listening without restrictions and advertising;
2. saving songs for offline listening in Boom.

The cost of the service is 149 rubles/month, 109.99 UAH/month or $3.99/month for other countries. Before you pay, you will be asked to use your subscription for free. This period is 30 days. During this time, you can evaluate all the pros and cons, whether you need it or can do without it.

If you want to try it, click “Try for free”.

Now look carefully and remember the date on which funds will begin to be debited from you. This is necessary so that later questions do not arise, saying that you did not use it, the 30 days are over, and the money was automatically withdrawn from the account. If you don’t want to renew, you can cancel your subscription on Android or iPhone without any problems.

Click the “Continue” button.

The subscription is linked to the selected account. If you have a card connected to it, then the monthly payment can be paid using it. If there is no card, then you must specify it at this step.

I should immediately note that even after connecting the card, the money will not be withdrawn. All promised 30 days will be free.

Now let's tell you a little about the Boom application. You can download it either from the Play Store or the App Store. It's free. After installation, you need to select a social network (in our case, it’s VK) and log in to your account.

You can subscribe to music there as follows:

1. Click on the note below. Then click on the button at the top right and select “Settings” from the list.
2. Then click “Select tariff plan”.
3. Opposite the inscription “BOOM-VK” click on the button with the price.
4. A small window will appear in which you need to click on the button to confirm. It may say “Continue” or “Subscribe”.

After this, a line will appear indicating how many days are left. Audio advertisements will disappear when listening to songs, all songs can be played, and it will be possible to download them to the cache. There are also advantages of the application itself: a convenient player window, the ability to create your own and view playlists of friends and communities, access to new products, broadcast music to status, and the ability to share it with a friend.

From computer

For those who are used to using a computer, you need to do the following. Go to the Music section of your profile. Then click on playback of a song by a popular artist.

If such a window appears, this is what we need. If not, then find another artist.

As you understand, without a subscription the user will not be able to listen to everything. Click "Find out more".

Then click “Subscribe”.

You will be informed that the Administration of the social network has sent a link.

Open the dialogs and you will find a new message in them. It will contain a link. You need to navigate through it from the application installed on your phone. Well, all subsequent steps will need to be done from your smartphone. I wrote about them above.

The advantage of this method is that they will send you a ready-made link and you won’t have to look for where to connect your subscription.

What does a student subscription provide?

So, a standard subscription through the BOOM player costs users 150 rubles. For example, unlimited access to Yandex.Music and Apple Music costs 169 rubles/month. The student tariff at VK allows you to save 50% of the full cost and costs 75 rubles. This approach is borrowed from Apple, which offers a similar plan at the same cost.

The student tariff is available to all students of universities, colleges and other educational institutions. However, there is an important condition - the student must be a full-time student. The special price is not available to all correspondence students.

This subscription is available to all users from the CIS and Georgia. The special price will be available for 4 years, but you will need to confirm your student status every year by sending the chatbot photos of your record book.

We recommend our material, which explains the appearance of apple.com/bill payments.
