All its time, the social network VKontakte was an excellent platform for finding people, meeting people and communicating. It should also be noted that a huge number of people listen to music on VK. That is, the social network serves as an excellent audio player. Now, this is gradually disappearing. VKontakte limits the time you can listen to music when your phone is locked. The VK administration has prohibited saving audio recordings in the cache. Undoubtedly, the topic is extremely unpleasant and very relevant, however, in this issue we will talk about how to save music on VK. For now, we can still do this. Thank you anyway!
In the article we will talk not only about saving and loading songs and melodies in VK audio recordings, but also about how to download audio to a computer and smartphone on the Android platform.
How to download music from VK to Android - Software for VKontakte
Many users of devices based on the Android operating system are wondering: how can you quickly and easily download music from Vkontakte to your mobile phone or tablet? This issue became especially relevant after the administration of VK.com introduced new restrictions on listening to audio files from the pages of its social network.
Despite the fact that the number of tools with which you can download music tracks from VK has decreased, today there are still ways to do this.
Applications for downloading from VKontakte:
Unfortunately, one of the most popular applications for downloading songs from VK to Android, “VKontakte Music and Video,” does not work today. But there are several others on our site.
VK MP3 MOD is an unofficial modification of the VKontakte client, with the ability to download audio files from the pages of the social network of the same name. Allows you to download or cache almost all the music you can find on VK. There is a possibility of mass downloading.
Music Bubble for VK is a fairly simple application that specializes in downloading music from the VK.com website. Music Bubble allows you to download music from your page, music from friends, music from groups in which you are a member, to your smartphone, and also search through the global database of VK songs.
VK Video is a paid application for downloading audio and video from VKontakte and many other sites (Mail.ru, YouTube, RuTube, Vevo, Vimeo...). Downloaded files are saved in the application archive. Among other things, it allows you to cut out advertisements when playing video and audio.
Online services for downloading from VKontakte:
In addition to applications, you can also use online services specially created for this to download music from a popular social network. They can be used from almost any browser.
Adding music to a group
If you are the owner of a VKontakte group and want to add a song there, then go to the main page and under the avatar, click on the group menu in the form of three horizontal dots. From the drop-down list, click on “Community Management”:
Next, in the “Information” tab, opposite the “Audio recordings” item, set the value to “Limited”. It’s better to put it this way, because if you make them completely open, then your group may be spammed by your own subscribers. Therefore, it is better to slightly limit the addition so that only you can do it.
Now we return to the main page of the group again. There is already a button “Add audio……”. Click on it and upload your file from your computer or from an audio search.
That’s basically all, we have discussed many of the nuances of uploading audio to your VKontakte page and group.
At SaveFrom.net. But with audio recordings the situation is much better - they can be downloaded in whole albums at once, you just need to install a suitable program on your computer. And one of the most suitable programs of this kind is the free VK Audio Saver utility.
Thanks to VK Audio Saver, you can download audio recordings from the VKontakte website, either one at a time or in entire albums. In addition, the program has a search function and a built-in audio player, so with the help of VK Audio Saver you can listen to music from VK without even visiting the site.

Now you can download your entire VKontakte playlist to your hard drive. To do this, go to your VK page, open audio recordings and copy the link to your playlist from the address bar of your browser.
After that, paste the copied link into the search bar of the VK Audio Saver program and click on the search button. A playlist from your page will open at the bottom (with the exception of those audio recordings on which you checked the “do not display during search” checkbox).
Now all that remains is to download all this music to your computer, which is done extremely simply in this program. To download an individual composition, click on the button with the arrow sign. To download the entire playlist, right-click on any of the songs and select Download all
