The VKontakte music collection is available on a variety of devices.

How to listen to VKontakte music on a computer

Browser version of "VKontakte"

The most convenient for home listening is rightly considered to be the reproduction of music on the VKontakte website. The player interface has undergone minor changes in recent years, but remains intuitive.

You can listen to VKontakte music in a browser window both in the audio recordings tab and in the mini-version of the player in the upper toolbar on any page of the service.

There are several buttons on the main panel. In addition to clear buttons for switching tracks and pause, there are four icons on the right: "Play music in random order", "Repeat song", "Show similar" and "Share". Using the latter function, you can broadcast the songs you are listening to in the status line of your profile or the group that you administer.

The panel on the right contains several active tabs. Using Recommendations, you can navigate to a song list based on the music you've added to your audio recordings. The Listened tab will open a list of recently played songs, and My Albums will give you the ability to structure your playlist into categories.

The administration of the service does not encourage pirates, and copying VKontakte music into the computer's memory is not available. But this does not stop inquisitive users: browser extensions allow you to bypass this prohibition.

If they don't help, there is another surefire way to download music from VKontakte.

How to listen to VKontakte music on a smartphone and tablet

IOS app

Two years ago, the Audio Recordings tab disappeared from the VKontakte application. After some time, it appeared on iPhone screens, but the lost function was never returned to the owners of Apple tablets.

However, there is a simple solution: you can freely listen to music on the iPad in the browser version of the service. Well, or you can return music to the official VK application for iPad in this way.

Lovers of listening to music on the iPhone can do this directly from the application, but the usefulness of the function is somewhat questionable. First, the ability to save audio recordings to the phone's memory was not returned to users. Secondly, switching tracks does not work on the locked screen.

From all this, the only conclusion suggests itself: users are forcibly pushed to legal listening to music. The use of streaming services has many advantages, and the price is quite affordable.

Android app

The life of music lovers with Android devices is much easier: the official VKontakte application allows not only to comfortably listen to music, but also to save songs in the device's memory.
