Did you know that you can listen to music from VK even without an Internet connection? Yes, yes, such a possibility really exists! True, you will have to make a few “extra movements”, but don’t worry - in fact, everything is very, very simple.
Our example is based on a mobile application. In this case, it's an Android tablet, but if you're using an iPhone or iPad, there won't be any difference.
We connect to the Internet, launch the application and go to “Audio Recordings”.
Here you will see the songs you have added. Using the search at the top of the window, you can find any song and add it to “Your Songs”. It is important that the tracks are in the “My Songs” list - this is a kind of playlist where you can have quick access to your favorite songs.
Let's say you want to listen to a few songs while you're offline. What are we doing? That's right, let's turn on the song so that it loads completely. See the bar at the bottom of the screen? As soon as it completely changes color and the icon at the top of the window turns blue, it means the audio file has been loaded into the cache. At the same time, it is not necessary to listen to the composition itself now.
Using this method, you need to download all the necessary songs - they will be available without connecting to the network.
Songs in the cache have a unique insignia - an arrow icon.
It is done? Amazing. Disable the Internet on your phone or tablet. Go to VK and click on any song loaded into the cache. Please, the song plays as if nothing had happened.
How is this possible? It's simple - the song is actually saved on your device and, what's more, you can access it if you want. To do this, use any file manager. In our case, this is ES Explorer. In it, be sure to select the “Show hidden files” item in the parameters, then write the word vk into the search (without quotes or anything else).
Do you see a hidden folder called .vkontakte? That's what we need. Tap on it.
A window with the Cache folder will open - tap on it.
Then click on the Audio folder.
And here are the compositions that are in the cache. Of course, you can listen to them through any player.
However, the file manager method may not work in the case of iOS, so be careful.

The social network Vkontakte has long established itself as a huge repository of music of various genres. In the official social client. for Android there is such a feature as caching music for offline listening in the program itself. The function is not very useful, but its presence is pleasing. Unfortunately, all saved tracks are not available for listening in other programs. It turned out to be quite easy to get them out.
Through experience, I discovered that the program saves all songs to the external memory of the device in mp3 format without an extension. Each track is assigned an id corresponding to its id on the site. All files are stored in the “/sdcard/.vkontakte/cache/audio” directory. To rename them and pull them out of the directory, I wrote the following Python script for SL4A:
import android import os droid = android.Android () path="/sdcard/.vkontakte/cache/audio" dirList=os .listdir (path) for fname in dirList: print fname newname = "/sdcard/Music/" +fname+ ".mp3″ oldname = path+"/" +fname if os .path .exists (newname) : print "exists" else : comm = "cp " +oldname+" » +newname os .system (comm) print "copied"
In this case, the files are also saved in the original folder. I can’t say anything about devices without a flash drive, but I think cached music is saved approximately there.

Today, the average daily online number is 87 million users, and more than 410 million accounts are registered. VKontakte is the largest social network in Europe, and ranks 4th in popularity in the world.
Algorithm for saving music from VKontakte into cache memory.
The resource is also loved for its vast archive of audio, which you can listen to online, and even for free. Let's consider whether it is possible to save the melody in cache memory with the possibility of further listening.
ATTENTION. In the latest update, the VKontakte utility for portable devices has lost the ability to cache tracks. If you still need to cache it, install an older version of the application and disable updates, or listen to music online.
Essential apps for Android | Root-Device
Our site was created to make life easier for Android users.
I want to offer you my point of view on the necessary programs for your Android device. Thanks to them, you can use your smartphone fully and without loading the system. Let's not hesitate and get started. Main list of programs
(according to the administration)
- Kate Mobile Pro + Music CACHE - This program is perfect for browsing the VKontakte network

listening to music

caching it
. The fact is that, unlike the official client, it has great functionality and does not load the system of your device; - Poweramp - (Beta + Crack FULL) - Multifunctional music player

, this program shows itself with a bang, great functionality, nothing superfluous, no advertising, and it is possible to choose a theme; - PowerGrasp - Shows itself very well as an archiver
, and is also not a bad
file manager
, in comparison with Root Explorer, I will give preference to this program; - MX Player (PRO) - Multi-format video player

of almost any

I believe that in every Android device, the starting application pack should be exactly like this. And now, for more advanced users, I want to offer programs for hacking various Android applications.
- GameGuardian - A good analogue of ArtMoney
from a PC, it breaks and searches for almost any value; - Freedom - You can pay for purchases in programs using this program, it creates a fake card
and pays using it; - Lucky Patcher - The best
program
for hacking
Android applications.
- Antivirus
programs , in my opinion, are not needed at all on Android, since there are no “viruses” as such. Antiviruses mark almost all programs that require access to the kernel as viruses. In general, apart from the system load and occupied space on your device, the antivirus is not capable of anything. And of course, say goodbye to the long life of your battery. - Programs “ Accelerators and cleaners
” are the most painful problem for novice Android users. What the very concept of “cache” represents for such applications is the remnants of old applications, all kinds of garbage. But in fact, if we analyze the operation of these applications, then except for the Necessary cache and residual files, they do not delete anything. But they are clearly successful under system load, so I recommend removing it manually, using the programs that I suggested above in the article, rather than using pseudo accelerators. Now let’s talk about “acceleration”, which is also a very interesting thing, processes can indeed stop if you’re lucky, but this is for 10-15 seconds, maximum, then the state of your device will be the same as it was before using acceleration. It is better to disable or remove unused programs, this will significantly reduce the load on your device and can free up space on it. Since programs of this kind work mainly in the background, when using them, battery life will also be significantly reduced, be prepared for this. At this point, the list has come to an end; these programs should be enough for you to use conveniently and quickly. In the future, the post will be updated
