Where is app Gaana downloading music?

king718 · May 5, 2014

I just downloaded this app called Gaana. It's an Indian music app that allows you to download and listen to music. I want to play music downloaded from this app with other music apps (shuttle+). But I can't find the directory where it is saving all the songs. Can someone tell me where this app is saving all the music?

Open ES File Explorer and enable Show hidden files ON ....
go to ANDROID/data/com.gaana
U will find one folder files open that
They are your downloaded files .........
Select one file by long holding ,,then mark all by using select all(top right coener tick mark) option and tap RENAME(below) in that select "rename extension name" type .mp3 and hit OK and u can move all these files to a folder wherever u want

absolutely correct location, new app has made some changes and been added a hidden folder named .gaana and all the songs in side that folder.
now the new location would be /sdcard/ANDROID/data/com.gaana/files/.gaana

so you just need to open browser (here I user X-plore) go to configuration > tick Show Hidden Files as shown in below image. done now you can able to find all the songs file and can copy to the folder in your choice and add extension .mp3

How to Play songs downloaded from Ganna.com with other app or player?

goto \Android\data\com.gaana there is some file ....................just rename every file with .mp4 then u can run with other app or play computer or any mp4 player.

somanshmittal · Jan 16, 2015

Works!!!

I found the songs file on my un rooted One Plus and I can play the numbered songs in Google Play Music.

The question I have is a little different - can Gaana find a way around this in the future? For such a subscription app, is there any way to store the 'downloaded' files somewhere other than local storage so that they're not accessible at all, but can still be played offline (this is a feature you get once you pay for a subscription)?

Please do let me know! Thanks guys!

Same here.. I cant see any file large enough in that folder which could be an mp3

sherrymehar · Jan 31, 2015

After trying all the solutions in got no success on my unrooted z2. I finally found the songs by using the app total commander. The process remains the same as the more learned friends have posted. Thank you guys. Now only if someone could figure out how to

rename the songs

gargville · Feb 2, 2015

Anyone was able to identify the format Wynk uses for its files. I can see all the files in 'com.bsbportal.music/files'.
The files don't have an extension are either encrypted or in a format playable by the app only.

mayankjain89 · Feb 2, 2015

Same problem here. The files are not in the root but in sd card. I tried renaming them, even opened them in a hex editor, but could not figure out the format.

Hi,
I have successfully got all downloaded song from gaana.com
the location is accurate. jest they are hidden. If you have ES file explorer go to settings -> Display Settings and tick "show hidden files.
and you will get all songs you have downloaded from Gaana APP.

Hi I found the solution ,

1.download ES File Explorer from play store and install it
2.go to app settings --> click on 'display settings' --> check 'show hidden files' (it'll be unchecked at first)
3.come back to home page of app
4.go to below path
sdcard0(internal storage) --> android --> com.gaana -->files --> .gaana
5. you will see all songs as files with numbers
6. copy all files and paste in sdcard1 (External storage)
7. basically these files will not be opened by walkman (i use sony )
8.we have to rename every file by adding '.mp3' at the end.

Renaming files with mp3 might work.
if file name is xyz ... you should rename it as xyz.mp3

Can't find downloads with latest version Gaana. I tried both root and internal sd card directory but its no where. I tried to locate it with sorting folders as last modified in es file explorer, but theres absolutely no sign of gaana downloads.
