Downloading music from VKontakte to a flash drive

Music on a flash drive from VKontakte is a very convenient way to listen to music for free. A flash drive with music can be listened to in a car, player and phone. The easiest way to download music to a flash drive is if you first go to VKontakte from your computer in the Google Chrome browser and use (See Plugin for downloading music from VK).

Change the time on your phone

The allotted 30 minutes has ended and the music has stopped playing in the background? Close the VKontakte application, change the date to a day earlier or later - enjoy listening again.

1. Go to the menu of your Android device. Click the Settings icon.

2. Find the “System” - “Date and Time” section. Turn off automatic date detection and set a new one.

How to listen to music without advertising on VKontakte on your computer

I constantly listen to VK audio from my PC or laptop, but I am often annoyed by the advertisements that appear when I launch the next audio recording. I’m not very interested in what they offer to buy, watch, order, etc., so there is an effective way to limit annoying VK advertising.

In order to disable advertising, you need to install a regular ad blocker in your browser. AdBlock or AdBlock Plus will help you. If it doesn't help, there are still plenty of other blockers in the extension store that are worth using.

As for the Opera browser, the built-in ad blocker doesn't always work properly, so go to the extension store and install AdBlock or something similar.

I hope I helped you solve the problem. Now you know many ways to enjoy VK songs without restrictions offline.

Use a headset

This method is especially relevant for iPhone owners, since when purchasing a device, a headset with an answer/end call button is included.

1. Connect headphones.

2. Open the VK mobile application and start playing the song.

3. Pause it, then switch the smartphone to the background (short press the “Power off” button).

4. Press the answer button. It is located in the middle of the wire.

This technique can work on phones running Android, provided that you are using a native headset.

Why pay a subscription?

The social network argues for this by saying that there has been a large-scale update of the music service: design, navigation, adding playlists and albums, and personal recommendations. They also promise high quality music and that you will be able to see the album cover. Probably, this is still important for someone... and vital!

Recently, the social network Vkontakte has introduced restrictions on background listening to music audio recordings through a mobile application for Android and iOS devices. Thus, if previously it was possible to enjoy music and at the same time be on Instagram, now background listening to music is only available for 30 minutes a day.

It is worth noting that such an innovation caused a strong reaction among users and fans of the VKontakte social network. Moreover, there were discussions about the fact that with the departure of Pavel Durov, Vkontakte began to acquire restrictions and lost its true reality.

However, this does not stop developers, and therefore it is important to find a way out of this situation. Of course, you can simply buy a subscription for 149 rubles for a month and continue listening to music without any restrictions. But, if you want to save money, then continue reading this article, as today we will tell you in detail how to listen to music on VK without restrictions on Android and iOS.

Method number 1. Download all audio recordings to your phone

The easiest and most economical way to not only enjoy daily listening to music in the background, but also save Internet traffic. It is worth noting that modern mobile devices have a fixed amount of memory for storing multimedia files. Thus, if your phone does not have a slot for installing an SD memory card, then this method will not work for you.

However, the method is great for devices with a removable SD memory card, due to the ability to store large volumes of music plays, as well as change memory storage sources.

• Insert an SD memory card into your mobile device. Please note that the memory card does not exceed the memory capacity supported by the device.

• Now connect your mobile device to your computer via a USB cable. After connection, activate the function of displaying the device’s memory card on the computer.

• Then install the MusVK , which allows you to download music from VK. Once the extension is installed, an icon will appear in the upper right corner of the browser. Click on the icon as in the picture below, after which you will be automatically redirected to the VK page in the “My Music” section.

• Now, next to the name of the audio recording, you will see a button by clicking on which you can download the audio recording.

• The first time you press the button, music download settings will appear. Check the box next to “Display the “Download All” button” if you intend to download all audio recordings from your VK page.

• After that, click on the button to download the audio recording, or click on the “Download All” button, select the name of the mobile device in the directory and click on the “Save” button.

• Then disconnect your mobile device from your computer. Open the Music app, find the downloaded audio, and enjoy listening.

Method number 2. Using an audio headset to bypass restrictions on listening to music

A fairly popular and cunning method, found by one of the users of the VKontakte social network. In addition, it allows you to easily and quickly remove restrictions on background music listening in VK.

• Connect the audio headset to your mobile device. Please note that there are control buttons on the wire.

• Now open the VK application, go to the “Music” section and click on the audio recording to play, then stop playing. Then press the headset button to continue playing the audio. These steps allow you to remove the restriction on background music listening.

Method number 3. Changing date and time settings

A simple and universal way to remove restrictions on background music listening in VK. It is worth noting that it works in all versions of the VKontakte mobile application, which is why the method is very popular on both iOS and Android devices.

• Open the VK application, play audio recordings and listen for 30 minutes until a pop-up window with a restriction appears.
• After the pop-up window appears, go to the date and time settings section. This process is different for each mobile device.
• Set the date to yesterday and then save the settings. Return to the VK application and continue listening to music in the background, but now without any restrictions.

Method number 4. Using the mobile version of VK through a browser

Every mobile device has a built-in browser. Thus, to remove the restriction on background listening to VK music, you can use the mobile version of the site through a browser. In addition, music will continue to play even when the phone's display is turned off.

• Open any browser on your phone and go to the website of the mobile version of VK . Be sure to log in with your profile, after which you will be redirected to the “Music” section. Click to play any of the audio recordings and enjoy listening without restrictions.

Method No. 5. Change display timeout or auto-lock (disable) settings

As you know, the restriction on listening to audio recordings applies only in two cases:

• When the VKontakte application is running in the background, that is, when the application is in background processes.
• When the display of the mobile device is turned off, or in lock mode.

Thus, you can take advantage of the situation, using it as a loophole to listen to audio recordings in the background without restrictions.

Go to your mobile device's display settings and set the display timeout to the maximum value. On Android devices >

Method number 6. Using the VMP application for Android 4.2+ mobile devices

A wonderful application that bypasses the restriction of background listening to VK audio recordings.

It is worth noting that the application is only available for mobile devices Android 4.2 and higher. In terms of features, the VMP application allows you to:

• Listen to personal audio recordings and audio recordings of friends in the background without restrictions.
• Cache (save) the listened audio recording to your mobile device, as well as listen to saved audio recordings without an Internet connection.
• Search audio recordings by title and artist.
• Download audio recordings to your mobile device.

Method No. 7. Using the VK mp3 Mod application for Android 4.0+ mobile devices

Analogue of the official application of the social network VKontakte. The only difference is a slight change in design and icons. No restrictions on listening to music. Moreover, it is possible to download music directly to your phone. Sometimes this is very necessary, for example, when you find a suitable ringtone in VKontakte audio recordings and want to set it as an incoming call. Overall, this is a great find for those who like to listen to music every day!

In addition, I would like to list a number of features that this application provides:

• Chat with friends in the client. Thus, the need for an official client is completely eliminated!
• Add users to friends and remove from friends.
• View photos of all users, friends, like, write comments.
• Listen to personal audio recordings and audio recordings of friends in the background without restrictions.
• Search audio recordings by title and artist.

In conclusion, I would like to note that if you do not intend to use methods to bypass the restriction of background listening to VK audio recordings, then there are a lot of other services on the Internet that offer listening to an endless number of audio recordings. Such services include:

Disable screen lock

Feature of the VK limit - listening is limited only in the background

.
The solution is simple - disable automatic screen locking in settings
.

1. Open settings. Go to the "Device" section.

2. Find the item “Display” - “Sleep mode”. Set it to the maximum possible value.

Advice - do not put your phone in your pocket without the screen being locked. You will definitely dial a random number

(possibly abroad and you will be left without money in your account) or launch a couple more installed applications.

Use the mobile version of the site

The music limit is not tied to your account specifically, but to the application id in the system. To bypass the restriction, it is enough to use not the official program, but the mobile version of the site.

1. Launch any browser installed on your phone (Chrome, Safari). Go to m.vk.com.

2. Log in using your account. Listen to music without subscription or any restrictions.

On some versions of Android, when the smartphone goes into Sleep mode, the playback of songs may stop.

Music without restrictions in alternative clients

In addition to the official application, there are a number of programs created by third-party developers. They, like older versions of VKontakte, cache music, allowing you to listen to it without the Internet for an unlimited amount of time.

The most popular:

• VK Coffee;
• VMP (page on 4pda.ru).

Downloading and installing them from the official AppStore and Google Play stores will not work, only from third-party resources. Before installing on Android, go to Settings and enable installation of applications from unknown sources.

Remember - installing applications and subsequently entering data from your accounts may lead to its loss or freezing

.

Third Party Applications

To get unlimited access to your playlist on VK, you don’t have to look for a bypass. Music can simply be downloaded. The advantage of this solution is that you will not need an active connection to the Internet - the music will always remain with you.

You can download files using a special application for your smartphone. There are many of them - type in the search “VK music offline” and choose any convenient one.

Reference! Some apps will offer a subscription. It is usually issued after the first free month of use. We hope that in a month you will have time to download everything you need.

You can also install a modified client for VK, for example, VK Coffee. Such an application can not only play music without restrictions, but also has a number of other functions not provided by the developers of the official client.

If you download music through a browser, install the extension. “Download music from Vkontakte” is one of the options.

Close to using third-party applications is to use the official version of the client, but an old one. If you have Android, you can find, for example, on 4pda the version of the application released before October 2021 and enjoy it. The main thing is to make sure that automatic updates are turned off.

Attention! Using third-party applications always involves some risk. Carefully check the source and author of the application. Do not enter your credentials again in unfamiliar programs - there is always a risk of losing your profile.

Install VK version 4.8.3 and lower

In version 4.8.4, a restriction on listening to songs has appeared. Many users install older versions of the application or new ones that contain a special patch that allows them to remove the limitation.

1. Enable installation of applications from unknown sources (the procedure is described above).

2. Uninstall the official VKontakte client.

3. Install an older version, such as this one.

Don’t be surprised if, after installation, some of the functionality of the social network is missing, that’s why it’s an “old version”.
