Today, most users, when listening to music, do not even think about choosing a specialized device, limiting themselves only to their own smartphone. All you need to do is just insert the headphones into your smartphone (or connect them via Bluetooth) and use one of the many listening applications. It is precisely this heap of programs that we will try to understand today, because each way of listening to music has both its advantages and disadvantages.
It’s worth saying right away that some applications from the list below have a subscription or are not free, although it is quite possible to use some set of functions without additional expenses.
Native music app for Android
Let's start with an application that you already have and don't need to download anything extra: Google Play Music. With it, you can access your music library, explore top charts and new releases, and find and listen to podcasts. Google allows you to add up to 50,000 songs from your personal music collection to play music, which is quite a lot and should be enough for even the most sophisticated music lover. In addition, there is a monthly subscription that will provide access to more than 40 million songs. A bonus when subscribing is that it also extends to YouTube, so you can use it to listen to music without restrictions or additional fees.
How to download music to Samsung
One of the main and most popular functions of the phone is playing music. Music lovers around the world buy good headphones and enjoy the sound of their favorite tracks on the way to work and while walking. Adding songs to a mobile device can be done in several ways, which will be convenient in one case or another. In this article we will figure out how to download music to a Samsung smartphone.
Download music to your Android phone using the cloud
This method is more labor-intensive, and is possible if you use conventional data storage. For example, the most popular DropBox, Mail Ru cloud, Yandex.Disk for Android, etc. Also, to listen to music, we will need an Internet connection via Wi-Fi, so as not to spend money on GPRS Internet, which is quite expensive. And so you have a cloud service account, you copy the necessary tracks to a folder, and on your phone all the tracks will be downloaded using the Internet.
Using the cloud, it is not very convenient to download a large amount of music at once, because the download speed will be limited by the speed of your Internet channel. But uploading a couple of dozen tracks is quite enough. In addition, you can install and download the Yandex.Music program for Android, which will allow you to listen to your favorite music online, but this will also require free unlimited Internet. These are the most common methods with which you can easily download music to your Android tablet or phone yourself.
Via computer
Download music using PC. To do this, you will need a USB cable from your smartphone, which you need to connect to your computer. Now a window will appear on the screen of your gadget in which you need to select the “Media device (MTP)” item.
Next, go to the file manager on your PC to the smartphone folder where the music should be downloaded. Download the tracks and transfer them to this folder. Ready.
This method is quite simple, but to download, for example, one or two tracks, it is better to use the methods described above. Since this method will be a little tricky.
If we are talking about a huge number of tracks, then this method is what you need. Transferring a large number of songs with this method will be much faster and more convenient.
Via USB cable
First, let's look at how to download music to Android from a computer via a USB cable. This is the fastest way so far. It's best to send an entire album rather than sending each song one at a time. To do this, place all downloaded content in a separate folder (you can create a new one) and then transfer it to your phone.
All you need to do is connect the USB cable to your smartphone and to the computer itself. Some devices require additional connection through the smartphone settings. To do this, go to the notification panel and check the corresponding tab, after which the icon of your smartphone will appear on the computer (phone memory and SD card).
It’s also worth remembering one very important rule: after the files have been transferred to the phone, you need to unmount the smartphone in the computer itself (through the window in the lower right corner). Only then can you disconnect the cable. Many people don’t pay enough attention to this and then wonder why their phone starts to slow down.
Web sites
In this case, the download process is no different from a similar one, but through a computer. The instructions look like this:
- Open any web browser installed on your phone.
- In the search bar, enter the query “download music”. You can add the name of the song/artist/album, or the word “free” to it.
- In the search results, go to one of the sites offering to download music from it.
- Some download sites may require you to register and/or purchase a paid subscription. It’s up to you to decide whether it’s worth buying/registering on such a site. If you decide to register/pay for a subscription, be sure to look for other people’s reviews about the site you are interested in.
- If you find a site where you can download music for free, just search for the song you want on it. Usually, opposite its name there will be a download icon or the inscription “download”.
- A menu will open where the browser will ask where to save the downloaded file. The folder can be left as default. Warning! If the site where you download music for free has too many ads and pop-ups, then we do not recommend downloading anything from it. This may result in a virus being introduced onto the device.
Download via Samsung Kies
An alternative download option may be to use a special program released by Samsung developers. Please note that it is suitable for connecting smartphones with Android version up to 4.2.
Will be useful
For more recent operating systems, you must use the Samsung Smart Switch program. It is suitable for moving contacts, messages and other data between your phone and PC. After installing and launching the program, you must follow the pop-up prompts and instructions. The principle of operation is similar to transmission via a USB cable.
Third Party Applications
The Play Market has special applications that allow you to download music to your device. Most often, they are distributed for a fee or will require you to purchase a paid subscription in the future. Let's look at a few of these programs.
CROW Player
This audio manager allows you to download music directly from Vkontakte, plus you don’t have to pay anything for it. However, due to VK's recent policies, some songs may not be available. Since the application is not available on the Play Store, below we have provided several safe and verified links to third-party services where you can download it.
To download music from VK through this application, you need to use the following instructions:
- Download the application and open it. First, you will have to log in to your VK page. You will have to enter your username and password. You can trust this application as it has a large audience and a lot of positive reviews in the Play Market.
- After entering your password and login, the application may ask for some permissions. Provide them.
- You are now logged into your page via CROW Player. Your audio recordings are synchronized. You can listen to any of them, add new songs using the search and a special icon.
- To download, you need to select a song and play it.
- There are two options here: you can save the song in the application memory or save it in the phone memory. In the first case, you can listen to it without the Internet, but only through the CROW Player application. In the second case, the track will simply be downloaded to your phone, and you can listen to it through any player.
- To save music in the application, you need to click on the ellipsis icon and select “Save”. It will be automatically saved there if you listen to it often.
- To save to your phone or SD card, you need to click on the SD card icon, and then select the folder where the song will be saved. If there is no such icon, click on the ellipsis and select “Save to device memory.”
Zaitsev.net
Here you can download and listen to music for free, which is stored on the official website of the application. Any song you like can be downloaded or saved in the application memory. The only downsides are the presence of advertising and a small selection of songs (especially from little-known artists).
The instructions for this application are as follows:
- Open the application. To find the track or artist you need, use the search at the top of the application.
- Play the song you would like to download. Next to the track name, click on the heart icon. The song will be saved to the application memory.
- To save a track to the device’s memory, you need to hold down its name and select “Save”.
- Specify the folder where the song will be saved.
Yandex Music
This application is free, but in order to use it you will have to purchase a paid subscription. There is a trial period of one month, during which you can use the advanced functionality of the application completely free of charge. However, even after paying for the subscription, you will be able to save music to the device’s memory and listen to it only through this application. It will not be possible to transfer saved songs anywhere, since they will be encrypted.
Let's look at how, using Yandex Music, you can save a song to your device's memory and listen to it without an Internet connection:
- Use the search to find the music you are interested in.
- Next to the track name, click on the ellipsis icon.
- Select “Download” from the drop-down menu.
The article discussed the main ways to save music to an Android phone. However, there are other applications that allow you to download tracks.
Application for searching music Zaycev.net
This is a free application from one of the most popular sites for searching and downloading music, which has been pleasing users with the variety of available tracks for decades. You can download the application on Google Play. After launching, you will immediately see a list of “Top 100 popular tracks”, and above it a search bar.
The application is in Russian, so you can easily understand it. The main thing is to know what to look for. That is, enter the name of the desired composition correctly, and the program will find it in a matter of seconds. Moreover, you can also listen to the track here. By swiping from right to left and vice versa, you can switch between tabs:
- Top 100 popular tracks.
- Collections.
- Genres.
- New items.
The names speak for themselves.
Music Box MP3 program
In fact, all such applications work the same, so the only difference between Musix Box MP3 and Zaycev.net is the visual design. In all other respects (functionality, operating principle, music search, and so on) they are identical. Therefore, there is no point in describing this program in detail. One has only to say that finding this application on Google Play is not so easy. It’s easier to search on torrent trackers.
Mobile browser
In the Russian-language segment of the Internet there are a huge number of sites from where you can download new songs to your smartphone. This can be done using the mobile browser installed on the device by default. The user needs:
- Launch a browser on your phone and enter the name of the composition of interest or other keywords (music genre, artist name, etc.) into the address bar and add “download for free” to the request. Click on the search button.
- Go to one of the suggested sites in the search results. Select the song you like and click on the download button (in the form of a down arrow).
- On the next page, click “Download MP3”. When saving is completed, a corresponding notification will appear. By clicking “Open”, you can immediately start listening to the track.
- By default, the song is downloaded to the “Download” folder.
Audiomack
Audiomack is an excellent program for those who follow foreign news from the world of music. To save songs to your smartphone using it, you need to:
- Install Audiomack via Play Market and launch the application on Android.
- Find songs of interest using internal search (by categories, genres, keywords). Click on the download button next to the track you like (down arrow icon).
- When the checkmark icon appears, it means that the song has been saved to the phone. To listen to tracks, go to the “My Library” section.
Third party music services
Continuing the topic of subscription services, it’s worth mentioning the well-known Apple Music. The music library here is more extensive, but you won’t get any additional bonuses other than music tracks and recommendations. Moreover, you can use Apple Music absolutely free for the first 3 months. It is also impossible not to mention the domestic service Yandex.Music with a fairly good base of performers and an affordable pricing policy. It would be possible to include Spotify in this collection, but it has not been officially launched in Russia and in order to use it, you need to “dance with a tambourine” a little.
Download music using various applications
There are many programs for searching and downloading music in the official application store. Let's list several versions:
- Zaycev.
- Jamendo.
- J.Y.D.
Zaycev is one of the most popular programs in this category. It's easy to download music using it:
- Samsung Galaxy S10: characteristics, pros and cons, video review, reviews, price
- Download the app.
- Launch it.
- Enter the name of the track in the line.
- Click on the arrow icon to download the song.
Music player with equalizer and skins
Well, if you want not only music to sound, but also sound from a beautiful application, then you may like a program like Poweramp Music Player. Here you can play with the equalizer and sound settings, change the appearance of the application and even the album cover. If you like to build the sound of your compositions yourself, then this is what you are looking for. The program has a free version, but some of the functions are cut off and you will have to pay for a full-fledged application.
You can find even more news from the world of Android (including unique ones that are not on the site) on our page in Yandex.Zen.
