Where Are Downloads from JioSaavn Stored on a Windows 10 PC?
When you download music from JioSaavn (formerly known as Saavn) on your Windows 10 PC, these songs are typically stored in a specific directory. Understanding where your downloads are stored can help you manage and access your music library more effectively. This guide will walk you through the process of locating these files and provide some additional information that may be useful as well.
Standard Storage Location
For most users, downloaded songs from JioSaavn are stored in the following directory:
C:UsersYourUsernameMusicJioSaavn
In this folder, you should be able to find the songs you have downloaded from the app. The directory structure is straightforward and should facilitate easy access to your music files. However, if you have customized your download settings, the directory might be different. In such cases, it is worth checking the app's settings for any specified download paths.
All Modern Windows Apps Have Isolated Storage
It is important to note that all modern Windows apps, including JioSaavn, have their own isolated storage where they store their data. This storage area is designed in such a way that it can only be accessed by the app which owns it. This means that other apps cannot access this data directly. However, as a system administrator, you have the possibility to navigate to the folder and view its contents.
Specific Storage Location for JioSaavn
While the default storage location for your downloaded songs is within the C:UsersYourUsernameMusicJioSaavn directory, JioSaavn also stores some additional files related to your offline music in a different directory. These files are stored in the following directory:
It is important to note that these cached files are DRM protected, meaning they can only be played within the JioSaavn app and cannot be played outside of it. This restriction is in place to protect the music distribution rights of the artists and record labels.
Conclusion
Understanding where your downloaded songs are stored can be beneficial, especially if you need to manage your music files or transfer them to another device. By following the steps outlined in this article, you should be able to locate both your music files and any related cache data. Remember, while you can access these directories, making changes directly may not be recommended, as this could potentially cause issues with the app.
