Online music listening becomes very popular in these days, especially on Android smartphone. Saavn is one those music listing app in India. Hope you have tried Saavn on your phone to listen music, if you have tried then you should aware that you can hear any music for free anytime online. If you want to listen music offline then you need to download that music, but to download you must have a subscription, which is free for the first sign up using Facebook. Despite this you can buy subscriptions for different period like 7day or 30 days etc. Once you have downloaded any music from Saavn, you can listen that music anytime offline within your subscription period.
If your subscription period expires, you can’t play those downloaded music and that’s quite natural for online music policy. You can’t keep a music for a lifetime. You should have a subscription to play that music.
But what if I tell you that you can save music from Saavn permanently and you can play that music beyond your subscription limit using any other music player.
Before I am going to reveal that, have tried to find out where does the music saves in your android device when you download a music?
Yes! When you download a music from Saavn for offline listening its download in your internal memory in MP3 format. If you navigate that folder, then you will find your downloaded music there. But you will not be able to play those mp3 files using your default music player as these files are encrypted.
So how to download music from Saavn permanently?
Here I have demonstrated how can you save music from Saavn on your Android device.
How to Download Music from Saavn Permanently on Android
- First install Saavn App on your Android phone
- Login via FB to get free subscriptions for 7 days for first time use else purchase it/
- Now you can download music for offline listening, just download those music you want
- Once you have downloaded play any of those downloaded musics
- After playing 5 to 10 Sec pause the music.
- Now open File Explorer and navigate to Internal SD card>> Android>>data>>com.saavn.android>>songs folder
- You will find a file curr.mp3, just copy this file and paste anywhere except that folder. I personally paste in Internal Storage>> Songs or Music folder
- Now rename that curr.mp3 file to that music that you have paused playing in step 5
- You have successfully saved a music file from Saavn permanently which can be played using any music player.
- Now you download another music play any other music from downloaded list and do these steps from 5 to 8 again.
For every single music you want to download you need to first play via Saavn then pause it, then copy paste from Savvn’s root folder. What basically happens here, when you download music from Saavn its get downloaded in encrypted format. But when you play via Saavn it gets decrypted and saves as a temp file name curr.mp3 which seems to current mp3 file. Now our job is just to make a copy of that decrypted file to save it permanently.
This is a one kind of flaw that Saavn have and I tried this method for Gaana but it did not work. Till then Saavn figure out this bug you can download songs from Saavn and saves on your device permanently so that you can play without using Saavn app.
