Time passes, but the policy of the social network VKontakte regarding music remains the same - no way! The benefit of tight-fisted copyright holders is more important than our desire to listen to our favorite tunes for free. Do you want a holiday? Sign up for a paid subscription. Then, so be it, you will have access to the music library for the whole day, but don’t even think about downloading something to your computer. Are you ready to put up with this? I don't.

There are many ways to download audio files from VKontakte, but after restrictions were introduced in 2017, some of them “fell off” and never started working. I decided to personally check how and how you can download music from VK to at the moment(mid 2018). And I found something. Here is a selection of 14 really working options.

Free Internet services

Luxvk.com

– a very easy-to-use service for downloading audio recordings from VKontakte to a PC or mobile device on Android. Works quickly and smoothly. It does not require registration - just log in to the VK website through it and log in to your account. The service has a built-in player, a music search function and a chat for communication (the latter was not working at the time of my visit). Next to each downloaded track there is a download button. There is no function for simultaneous downloading of several files.

Luxvk.com has, perhaps, only one drawback - it only downloads music from your page. So if you want to download a track that is not in your list of audio recordings, add it to yourself first.

Kissvk.com

The service is almost identical to Luxvk.com. More precisely, it is even more concise and simple: apart from the function of downloading and searching for music on your page, it does not contain anything, not even a player. If you want to listen to the song before downloading, you will have to go to the VK website.

Music.ya.wiki

– a multidisciplinary music service. It is a large collection of recordings of various genres and artists with the ability to listen online, as well as download to your computer and mobile device. Downloading music from VKontakte is one of its functions.

To upload compositions from your VK account to the Music.ya.wiki website, just log in to the social network through it and allow access to the recordings. There is also no option to download multiple files at the same time.

In addition, Music.ya.wiki allows you to include your music tracks in playlists along with other songs and listen to them on the service page. But this requires registration.

Savefrom

- one of the most popular audio, video and photo downloads from VK, still at its best. Distributed as an application for web browsers Opera WebKit, Firefox, Google Chrome and Yandex (during installation, you can select one or more browsers in which you will use the service).

All Savefrom.net does is add a “Download” button to the list of VK tracks. And when you hover the cursor over this button, it shows the size and birtate of the file.

The assistant is good, but also not without its shortcomings. The following caught my eye:

• During installation, it tries to fill your computer with garbage (if you don’t want to clean the system of all kinds of “browser managers” and Yandex panels, select the “Configure settings” option and uncheck unnecessary boxes).
• It requires a browser restart to complete the installation.
• At the Opera latest version The extension never worked.

DMV (Download Music VKontakte)

The service also offers to install itself in the browser. After installation, clicking on its button (located at the top of the VK audio recordings section and on the browser extensions panel) will take you to a page where all music recordings from your account are automatically downloaded. In addition to downloading, each recording can be listened to and sent in comments, or more precisely, a link to it can be uploaded to the general user chat, which is located here.

The main difference between DMV and previous services is the ability to listen and download music not only from your VK page, but also from the “Recommendations”, “Popular” and “Listen” sections. In addition, any composition can be added to the “My Audio Recordings” list - and it will be saved in your VKontakte account.

PC Applications

VKMusic

– a simple, convenient, free application for downloading music, videos and photo albums from the VK social network. Completely autonomous, works regardless of the browser. After installation and the first launch, it will prompt you to log in to VKontakte, after which you can upload content to it.

• My audio recordings.
• Audio recordings of friends and groups (to access them, the program will ask you to provide a link to your friend’s or group’s account).
• Musical recommendations.
• Popular music.

Next to each track uploaded to VKMusic there is a button “Add to download”. The list of those selected for downloading is in the lower half of the window. By the way, the program supports batch downloading of files – all or only those noted in this list.

VkAudioSaver

Next application – , does not even require authorization in VK, since he has his own account on this social network. Although you can log in to yours by opening the “Settings - Authorization” section.

The VkAudioSaver account uploads a list of popular audio recordings from the Top of the Week, available for listening and downloading. And not only that: the built-in search engine allows the program to search for songs throughout social network.

After logging into your VK user account in VkAudioSaver, the playlist creation function is activated.

Google Chrome Extensions

Music 7s

The principle of operation of the addon is very simple: after installation, a download button appears next to each music track and album on any VK page. Nothing extra.

VK Audio Downloader (VKD)

Has a few more features than the Music 7s. It downloads not only audio recordings, but also videos. It also shows the size and birtate of the file.

VKSaver

It is also not original - it works on the same principle as previous extensions. Downloads individual tracks, music albums and videos. Allows you to select a folder to save.

Download music VKontakte

The addon differs from its competitors in that it saves compositions with the correct name (apparently, if it is written in the tags of the audio file), supports batch downloading of several tracks, and also downloads at the user’s request (relevant for residents of Ukraine). Like many analogues, when you hover over a track, it shows its size and bitrate, and also allows you to download music in entire albums.

MusVK

If you look through the eyes of the user, it is a complete analogue of the previous add-on.

In addition to those collected here, there are many more extensions with similar, if not identical, functions. I don’t think it’s worth listing everything. If necessary, you can easily find them by searching for “download VKontakte music”, “VK music”, etc. in the browser store.

Android Applications

In contrast to extensions for Google Chrome, applications for Android that would actually download music from VKontakte after all the “troubles” with copyrights are literally a thing of the past. I managed to find only 2. I present them below.

Music from contact - offline guide

The free mobile application is designed for:

• Listening to music from social networks online and offline.
• Download audio files to your phone or tablet.
• Setting downloaded ringtones for calls.

Based on the principle of use, this application is reminiscent of Internet services - after authorization on the VK social network, it downloads a list of audio recordings from your page, where there are download and listen buttons next to each track. There is a built-in player and search engine.

In general, “Music from Contact” copes well with its tasks, but some of its features irritate users. Among them are suddenly pop-up advertising banners, clicking on which activates paid subscriptions, as well as a limited number of downloadable songs (maximum 100).

Moosic

Moosic is the second free application for downloading music from VK to your Android mobile device. Published by Mail.Ru Group. It has richer functionality than “Music from Contact”. Among its functions:

• Uploading “Top of the Week” songs with the ability to add them to a playlist for listening and to your VK page.
• Uploading tracks from the user account with the ability to download to the device, as well as listen online and offline through the built-in player.
• Creating and downloading playlists – not only your own, but also ready-made ones.
• The ability to share links to compositions through instant messengers, the VKontakte application, mail, SMS and other means.
• Pauses melody playback for a specified time (sleep timer).

To download a track saved to your VK account, open the tab marked with a heart in Moosic (this is the “My Audio Recordings” section) and tap the download button. To download a song that is not on your list, for example, from the Top of the Week or found through a search, first tap the “+” button next to it and add it to the “My Tracks” playlist. Then go to the tab of your audio recordings and click the download button.

Unfortunately, the Moosic app is no longer available on Google Play. I couldn't find and official source, from where you can download it without fear of catching anything malicious. However, it is easily found on many web resources on the Internet.

If you decide to install Moosic from an unverified source, be sure to scan the downloaded apk file with an antivirus and make sure it is safe.

How to download music from VK: 14 methods that work in 2018 updated: June 1, 2018 by: Johnny Mnemonic

This could be a video of a friend or even your own video, which for some reason was not saved on your hard drive.

In any case, downloading will not take much time if you use one of the popular methods.

There are three main ways to download a video from the VKontakte social network to your PC or Mac for free:

1. Using the SaveFrom.Net service specially created for receiving video from the Internet;
2. Using programs to capture images from the screen;
3. Installing an extension to increase the capabilities of VKontakte called VkOpt.

Method 1: Using the SaveFrom.Net extension

The SaveFrom.Net service has a number of advantages compared to other options, since it does not require installation additional programs(By at least, for the first method).

The first option for using SaveFrom.Net is suitable if the video that interests the user is downloaded once.

For permanent downloading, you should use the second method.

Download one video

To save 1-2 videos on your computer, there is no need to download programs or install extensions.

Simply launch the video and copy the contents of the address bar as it plays.

Now you can close the video and go to the SaveFrom.Net service website.

In the field located in the center of the screen, enter the copied link and click the blue rectangle with an arrow.

The method is available not only for a computer, but also for a phone with Android or iOS.

If the service allows you to download a video to your computer (which happens in 90% of cases), an image of the video opens, which shows what you have chosen to download required file, and a drop-down list of formats.

For private video formats there are usually few – 1 or 2.

For popular videos, the list can be large, including extensions .mp4, .gp3, and even .avi.

Constant use

If you use the service regularly, you can install it as an extension. It is not in the list of standard ones for Opera and Chrome, but on the SaveFrom.Net website there is an “Install” button at the top.

After installation on your computer, a download link will appear under all VKontakte videos with the possibility of the same choice of extensions as when using the site.

Method 2. Download program

An accessible and not too complicated option for the average user to download videos online is to use special program Movavi Screen Capture Studio.

The application has nothing to do with VKontakte and allows you to record and even convert everything that is displayed on the monitor screen into any desired format.

And, if the video is played in full screen, the program will turn it into a file with the extension .avi or even .mpeg.

The advantage of this method is ease of use, versatility and production of a video in any desired format (which can even be played on a mobile gadget or TV).

Disadvantage: Movavi is a paid program.

Advice! But it is possible to find a trial version online.

Working with the application

The stages of working with the application are as follows:

• First, the Movavi distribution is installed;
• The program is installed and launched;
• When opening a window for Windows, select the “Screen Capture” menu item located in the start window. For OS X, the launch will start automatically;
• Opens the video you need VKontakte and select the screen size (yellow frame).

• The video recording button is pressed and after 5 seconds it will begin to be transferred to the computer.
• Before saving, the video is edited (for example, advertising is cut out) or converted to the desired format without changes.

The higher the resolution with which the video is recorded, the longer it will take to convert the file.

To capture the entire video, you will have to open the video in windowed mode rather than full screen.

If you are an active user of the VKontakte social network, then you probably listen to various audio recordings that friends share with you, listen to recordings from your collection, or look for new tracks in the search. At the same time, probably more than once you have had the idea of ​​downloading your favorite compositions to your computer or car. To do this, you will definitely need a program for downloading VKontakte music. Unfortunately, it is not possible to download music without third-party software. The developers removed this option due to the tightening of copyright laws and a large number of lawsuits in this regard.

As a result, it is not possible to download music just like that, without the use of special utilities. Let's start looking at the most popular programs.

VKSaver is a popular program for downloading music on VKontakte, this utility works perfectly with all: Opera, Google Chrome, Mozilla, Yandex Browser and others.

In order to download and install VKSaver, go to the official website.

In the main window we see a large green “Download” button, click it. As you can see, the program supports work in all versions of the Windows operating system.

Advice! Before downloading and installing the program, disable the antivirus, and after installation, add the program to the exclusion list, otherwise the antivirus will often recognize it as unwanted software and block it. Although the program does not contain any viruses or malicious codes.

The installation of the program is standard, but you should pay attention to one point. During installation, the program offers to install utilities and settings; if you do not need them, I recommend unchecking them.

After installing the add-on, restart your browser and go to the VK social network, now next to each song you will see an arrow button, clicking on it will start downloading the music.

How to download audio recordings using Savefrom.net

Savefrom.net is a special, small program for downloading VKontakte music. When installed, it is built into the Internet browser and you will be able to download tracks. In this case, as in the case of VKSaver, a button with an arrow will appear opposite the selected composition.

You can download the program from the official website

To do this, go to the developer’s website and in the window that opens, click “Download SaveFrom.net assistant.”
The program is installed as standard, but I also recommend unchecking all the boxes during installation, otherwise a bunch of unnecessary software will be installed in parallel with the software.

After completing the installation of the program, restart the browser and check the operation. A download button should appear.

Please note: The utility also allows you to download music from other popular social networks and services.

VKMusik – download music from VKontakte.

VKMusik is an analogue of the two previous programs. After installation, it is built into the functions of all . Adds a “Download” button opposite each selected song. The program has more advanced functionality than VKSaver and Savefrom.net. The program's functions include a small audio player that makes playing music on a social network more comfortable, and it is also possible to download entire albums. This opportunity will appeal to many users who do not want to search for individual tracks, but download entire albums for listening on a computer, player or in the car.

Let's look at where to download and how to install VKMusik. We go to the official website - vkmusic.ru and to home page Click the “Download VKMusic for free” button.
During installation, you must specify the directories for the program, as well as for the downloaded files. When the installation is complete, the program will prompt you to install additional software, uncheck all the boxes and click the “Finish” button. If you checked the box, run the program after installation is complete, the main window should appear. In it you need to enter “Login” and “Password”, the same as when logging into VKontakte.
Next, a program will launch in which you can listen and download popular tracks from radio stations, tracks from your friends, as well as a list of your music. There are special buttons to switch from one tab to another. See the screenshot below.

Program for downloading music on VKontakte - VKontakte. DJ

VKontakte. DJ is a more serious solution for downloading and listening to audio recordings from the VKontakte social network. The program has a wonderful ability to search for music in albums and immediately download a list of selected audio recordings. Download the program from the site - vkontakte.dj.

Next, we install. The installation process is standard, just check the boxes like I did when installing.

After installing and launching the program, click the “Settings” button in the main window and get to the settings menu. Here we enter “Login” and “Password” from Vkontakte.

Next, go to the main program window and enjoy the music. In order to open your tracks, click on the “Friends” tab and at the beginning of the list you will see the letter “I”. All your music will be at this point.

Now you have a fully functional program for downloading VKontakte music.

Download music from VKMusic.Citynov

VKMusic.Citynov is another free utility for downloading audio recordings from VK. The program can download both individual music files and entire albums. At the same time, information about the audio recording is available to the user. Perfect for music lovers. The program, when downloaded, allows users to select the quality of the audio recording. This way you can download music in the highest possible quality.

The program provides the ability to download music and videos from other popular services such as: RuTube, Mail.ru, and others.

We will download the program from the official website - vkmusic.citynov.ru

On the main page, click the “Download” button. The installation process is standard and does not differ from installing other programs. Therefore, during installation, click the “Next” button everywhere and the program will be installed. After launching the utility, you must enter authorization data.

Program for downloading music from VK – VkOpt

VkOpt is a browser add-on that includes a huge number of different settings. This application is inferior to all the programs and extensions described above. The program will provide users with functions such as:

• Ability to customize the interface;
• Ability to change sound notifications and much more.

VkOpt will surprise even the most demanding users. Therefore, I recommend installing it. You can download it on the website - vkopt.net

In the window that opens, select which browser to install the extension for. I will install it for myself Google browser Chrome, so I press the corresponding button.

A drop-down menu “Install extension” will appear, you need to click the “Install” button.

After that, we go to VK and see that the extension offers to perform the initial settings. After setting up the add-on, go to the audio recordings and see the “Download” button.

Conclusion.

That's all for me, in today's article, we looked in detail at the most popular ways to download music from social networks, in particular from Vkontakte. Now you have at your disposal any program for downloading VKontakte music. Share the article with your friends so that they, like you, can easily download their favorite compositions from VK and other popular services on the Internet. If you use other methods, then leave your wishes in the comments.

The young Internet generation prefers to listen to VKontakte music from their phone (Android, iOS) and other mobile devices. Despite the fact that the playback quality of audio tracks posted on VK is not the highest, many social network users prefer convenience and mobility. In this guide I will share with you best apps which will allow you to download music from VK, and will also tell you how to download your favorite tracks to your phone. After this, you will be able to listen to music offline and in any music player.

Today, many copyright holders are trying to squeeze a penny out of a poor VKontakte user, so huge deposits of music and multimedia in general regularly go through harsh purges. Therefore, you need to hurry to download music from VK to your phone and save your favorite songs for local listening.

I have put together a list of excellent tools - browser plugins and programs - for downloading music from VKontakte to Android. I believe that these tools will not only appeal to you for their convenience, but will simply provide good service. Separately, I described the most universal method of downloading files using Chrome Developer Tools - that is, you do not need an application to download music, just install the Chrome browser.

It should be noted that the extensions listed in the review are constantly removed from the Chrome and Google Play stores, since the services' policies prohibit the use of such applications for downloading. However, at the time of writing, all extensions and programs are available for download and have been tested for functionality by me personally. We strongly advise you to download them to your Android phone in order to form your own opinion.

Videoder for Android

Videoder is a convenient shell for downloading music and videos from popular social services, including VKontakte. The program is free and works not only on desktop and mobile version, but also through the website videoder.net.

If we talk about the mobile application, it works stably, unlike the browser extensions mentioned here.

First you need to download Videoder to your phone (you won’t find it on Google Play, use the link below). Having entered the application, select the icon from VKontakte, log in through the shell and go to the playlist. You can actually download the song using the icon opposite the song name in the VK playlist. This can be not only a playlist of an authorized user, but almost any composition on VKontakte.

Of course, this method of obtaining music is not ideal: it is unlikely that you will want to download entire albums and playlists. However, if we are talking about several tracks you like, then why not?

Listening to music through the VK application for Android

By installing the VK application on your phone, you get an online audio player with a free music library.

Unfortunately, the VKontakte client deprives you of the opportunity to upload your favorite music to mobile phone, and you'll need regular internet access to listen to your playlists. However, it is a very convenient program that you can use as a full-fledged player. At the same time, you do not violate the rights to use the VKontakte social service by broadcasting music without saving it to your phone.

Interface mobile application VKontakte

VKD is a convenient way to download music from VK to your phone

The VKD extension for Chrome comes to hand when it comes to working VK audio downloader. By installing the program, you get a convenient browser add-on.

To download music from a contact to your phone:

Attention! Sometimes VKD, like other extensions, does not work: a red dot is displayed next to the download icon. This means that VKontakte has limited access to audio tracks, and instead of songs, a stub is loaded. In this case, we advise you to wait or use other applications from our review.

MusicSIG VK.com is a free application for downloading VK music from a browser

Extension “Download music from VKontakte (vk.com)”

How to download music via VK in any browser. VKSaver program

If you are using a browser other than Google Chrome, then obviously the extension will not be the best convenient option to download music from VKontakte pages. We found universal solution- This . It downloads with equal success not only in Chrome, but also in Firefox, Opera, IE and Yandex Browser. The application for downloading music on Android has standard tools similar to browser extensions.

The desired “Download” button appears next to the music tracks. By clicking on it, you will be taken to the interface for downloading music tracks.

The only problem is that it is necessary for playback (although all developers have long abandoned it). Another drawback is that the VKSaver add-on does not always work after installation. However, there is a plugin - the VKSaver extension of the same name. You can download music from VK with its help.

Program “VK Music: Download VKontakte” for Android

If you listen to music on a phone, say, running Android OS, it would be a convenient option to download an application designed to play VKontakte tracks.
