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. :)
[General Questions and Answers] somanshmittal:
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!

The files don't have an extension are either encrypted or in a format playable by the app only.

Files are hidden

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.

:victory::victory:
[General Questions and Answers] midhun24:
Found files

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.

---------- Post added at 11:09 AM ---------- Previous post was at 11:05 AM ----------

Renaming files with mp3 might work.

if file name is xyz ... you should rename it as xyz.mp3

Utility to convert Gaana songs to MP3

Hi Guys,

I see that there have been lot of discussion on where to locate the downloaded files. Though locating the files was not a problem for me, naming them and arranging them into albums WAS A BIG PROBLEM.

So wrote a small Java utility program.

The JAR can be found in the binaries folder and usage instructions are there in the readme on that page. Please use it and let me know your comments

Find location of songs downloaded from gaana.com app for android

Gaana.com is a website that offers free streaming of Indian and International music. Gaana.com provides mobile applications on various platforms like Android, IOS, Windows & Blackberry. Gaana.com app allows users to download songs so that they can listen songs offline. Do you want to play downloaded songs with other music applications? But many of you must have wondered where the downloaded song files are stored. Here’s is how to find the location of downloaded songs.

Go To File Manager –> Android –> data –> com.gaana –>files

Here you will find nothing initially.

Click on menu button & select “Show hidden files”

Now, you will see a folder named “.gaana”.

Inside this folder you will see all the songs downloaded from gaana.com.

But you will notice the downloaded songs are named with random numbers having unknown file extension. To use these files in other music applications, you must copy them in some other folder & rename files & add “.mp3” extension to every file.

Courtesry: digitais.in
[General Questions and Answers] HarishIniyarajan:
It will be there in the same location in your sd card(if u have inserted one). Just turn on hidden files option in es file Explorer and go to Android>data>com.gaana>files>.gaana where the last folder is a hidden one. The songs with be in different format and in numerical names. Just rename them with a .mp3 extension.
[General Questions and Answers] Paras_Desai:
After few latest updates, the downloads are no more there , they are hidden somewhere in system directory and one need to root phone to reach there,
[General Questions and Answers] HulG:
Yes, got it through your mentioned path.
[General Questions and Answers] :
On the latest version(s), the app stores the downloaded files to the external SD card (if present - dunno what happens if it isn't present), To get access to the files there, enable viewing of hidden files in your file manager (yes, Show Hidden Files in ES File Explorer), and navigate to the same directory, viz.

External SD Card/Android/data/com.gaana/files/.gaana

and you'll find files with random numbers without any metadata (album artist, album covert art). First, you'll have rename the files by appending a .mp3 extension (for example, filename is 123456, then you have to rename it to 123456.mp3). You can automate this using a file renaming software (File Renamer Basic comes to mind). You'll have to individually figure out which file corresponds to which song and add the metadata yourself, or with any third party app (MediaMonkey claims to be able to do that, though it often does a very poor job of it, then there's a slightly better MusicBrainz Picard). I'd suggest you download the songs yourself through some other means instead of going through all this trouble.

In addition, if you want the cover art for the songs, you can check the same location on the internal memory, but the folder filesApp_Images.

Steps to rename the songs automatically

Here's the link for my source folder : drive / open?id=0B7JtzOY95m4lRWs4TnJXRXNSWTA

Things to do to run this : Get your sqlDB file where all your songs are stored in db3 format.

Extract them in one excel (See the 'gna' folder from this link and go to excel to see the template)

Done. Open the exe file (Which should be in 'debug', if not, compiler the project to get one) and

run. UI is pretty easy to understand.

This is how you save songs from Gaana app

For Android users:

Goto : SD card/Android/data/com.gaana/files/.gaana/

You can see your downloaded songs but these are not recognizable files.

Next step:-

select all these files and copy and save to other location, rename all these files as .mp3.

All Done!!!!.

I have signed up for one year of Gaana's premium service, and primarily listen to it via the Windows 10 app. Would anyone know where this app saves the downloaded songs?

I checked under AppData\Local\Packages\TIMESMOBILELIMITED.Gaana_randomstring but do not see the downloads in any of the subfolders.

EDIT:

I see the songs under the LocalState subfolder. These have a .mp4 extension, but filesizes are too small! Just 1.4mb for what is supposed to be the HD version. For comparison, I have the same song in FLAC, with a filesize of 28mb!

Also, I am getting an "unable to parse" error in JRiver Media Center. So I assume the Windows app uses DRM on the downloaded files.

[General Questions and Answers] desktopuser:
Guys i found the files and it is in the same folder as mentioned in above answers.

Simply copy those .e extension files to your pc but its encrypted. So even though u can copy those e files.

It is unreadable from any player or editor. Only Ganna can play it and it sucks.

ANDROID/data/com.gaana

So the only solution is download some other streaming music site and purchase from there.

Make sure it can be downloaded in mp3 or mp4 format.

I myself will be disusing this Ganna app, because they don't want me to rip the benefit of my money.

Using older apps like Gaana version 6.6.6 is not sufficient enough. That is why they keep updating there player.

Even if u could get Gaana version 6.6.6, it will not recognize that files as readable. Basically it cannot access that file.

So both ways the user will not benefit in any ways.
