This step involves downloading of a Song using the official Gaana Android app, and once downloaded the downloaded songs will be shown in the Gaana app’s Download list. So you can play the song by going into that list, but you won’t find the song in another music players and hence won’t be able to play the song in those apps.

Step 2: Open ES File Explorer and “Turn on” show hidden files feature of the File Explorer.

This step will enable the ES File Explorer to show all the hidden files, which are not visible normally. To show Hidden files in ES Explorer. Start the ES File Explorer and click on a button which has 3 horizontal lines on the left hand corner and scroll down and turn on the “show hidden files” feature, this will enable the File explorer to show all the hidden files in your Android Phone.

Note: Don’t manipulate any other Hidden files, else there are cases that there might be some issues with the Software if any important hidden file is modified.

Step 3: Find the “Gaana” Folder inside “Android > Data” in Internal Storage or External Storage (if exists)

Gaana creates a hidden folder and stores the songs in an unknown format which only the app could understand and a user can’t. If you are having an External SD card inserted, open the SD Card in ES File Explorer and navigate to : “Android à Data à com.gaana à Files à .gaana” and you will see Files with Unknown Format (if you’ve not downloaded any song in the Gaana app, you won’t see any file), But on following the first step even if you downloaded a song, you will find it in it.

Step 4: Copy/Move the “Unknown Files” to another location.

In step 3 we found unknown files in the directory, now select all the files and copy/move it to another location in SD Card, Outermost directory is recommended, Create a folder in the outermost directory and move those files in that folder.

Step 5: Convert the “Unknown File Format” to MP3

Once you move the unknown files to the new location, select all the files and click on Rename files and a pop up would appear asking you to give name to the files and if you’ve selected multiple files it would also ask you to enter the start number, enter any number and in the Rename Extension name field write “mp3” and click on OK.

That’s it, now reboot your Phone and start any of the music player and you will find all the songs which you downloaded from Gaana Android App playing in another music players also, Now you can rename the files to their respective names, so that you can open the songs and play them when needed, instead of remembering their Sequence number.
