For music lovers, the Internet has long become the main place to search, listen and download music. There are thousands of sites where you can search for a song by artist, album and title. One of such resources is the social network “ Vkontakte”
“, where music and other various audio files are posted by the users themselves on their pages in the “My Audio Recordings” section.
Audio recordings mean not only songs, but also audio books, recordings of radio broadcasts and other recordings.
VKontakte is an ideal place to search for music for those who are not very knowledgeable in the music industry or are simply lazy. The audio files here are not sorted by genre and are named by network users to the best of their desires and literacy. To find the song you need, just click the “ Search”
" and in the menu that opens on the right, open the link "
Audio recordings
".
After that, enter the artist and the name of the composition in the search bar. A moment of waiting - and the site displays a list of audio files that match your request. Click the “ Play
” icon next to the desired file and listen to the song.
Of course, the best option is to know the exact name of the artist and the musical composition. But what if you only know one of these two, or don’t know at all who sings this song and what it’s called?
I know the artist, but I don't know the song
Enter the artist's name in the search bar. Look carefully at the list of his songs that opens. Network users often post the song under the name of the first lines of the composition itself or the chorus instead of the official title of the song (some post the whole verse). Try adding a memorable line from the song to the artist's name in the search bar. If you heard the song you are looking for a long time ago, enter the approximate year of its rotation on the radio in the search bar.
I heard the song, but I don't know the artist
Enter the name of the song or the first line of the chorus into the search bar. The search time in this case will be longer than in the first case, since the site will find several performers whose titles contain the entered words. It is quite possible that you will recognize “your” song from other lines from the song that you forgot about, but remember during the search process. Do not forget about the correct spelling of all words - just one mistake and the site will not find a single answer!
I heard a song in a foreign language, but I don’t know how to spell its name correctly
It's no problem either. Not all users in VKontakte are experts in foreign languages. Write a line from a foreign song in Russian letters - if the song is more or less popular, then you are guaranteed to get the result. Also, many users write the names of popular Western groups in Cyrillic.
I heard a fragment of the song, but I don’t remember a single line
It happens. In that case, remember where you heard it? In any program, video or series? Enter the name of the series into a search engine and you will get a lot of audio files whose title will be “From the series of such and such...”.
Of course, once you find your favorite song, you will probably want to save it. In this case, click on the “ Add”
” next to the song you like, and it will be added to the “
My audio recordings
” section on your “
VKontakte
” page.
As for downloading a song to a computer, the administration of this social network does not allow such actions and does not officially provide such a service. To do this, you can download programs such as VKsaver
or
Vklife

How to watch a friend’s hidden VKontakte audio recordings through the element code: debunking myths
Let's look at the versions that are floating around the Internet and will either be unusable or create a danger of data loss for you:
- One of the most popular methods is hacking the page code - you find out the ID (digital page identifier) of a friend, substitute these numbers into a special link with audio, which experts attach to their advice, a few simple steps - and the secret is revealed - you can listen to hidden melodies for as long as you like whatever. To be fair, we note that previously it was indeed possible to hack the code of an element in this way, but the developers of VK patched this hole a long time ago.
- The second most popular method that tells you how to watch a friend’s hidden VKontakte audio recordings is a hacking program. This method is not only useless, but also dangerous - from sanctions against you from the VKontakte administration to the theft of your personal data by cunning creators of suspicious software.
Option to roll back the official application to the old version
There are a number of instructions on the network in which users are asked to use older versions of the official VKontakte client. Allegedly, through it you could listen to music without the Internet. I don’t know if this option worked before, but it definitely doesn’t now.
If you manage to find the required apk file and you can install the application from it, then the situation for you will develop as follows.
- To work, you will need to update to the latest version. And all your efforts will come to nothing.
- The application will not work - the VKontakte administration has disabled support for all earlier versions.
So don't waste your time. It’s much better to just download music from VK to your phone and play it through the built-in player.
