Find Free MP3s, WMAs, OGGs, and Other Music Files:
Using Google you can find much more than you would think you can find. A very good way to find music files is to find open indexes on the internet that make it very easy for us to download stuff. Here are some hints:
***Google:
-inurl:htm -inurl:html intitle:"index of" "Last modified" mp3
Using this string we are using the "index of" and the inurl commands to attempt to isolate directories only. The
mp3 tag on the end tells google to look for mp3s in these
open directories. You can change this to
wma or
ogg if you wish.
You can add additional search criteria to focus your search more:
***Google:
-inurl:htm -inurl:html intitle:"index of" mp3 "pearl jam"
This command will find
open directories with
mp3 files with
Pearl Jam. Obviously you can change the band name or file type to better define your search. Like:
[Directory String] can be any of the following :
1) "index of"
2) "last modified"
3) "parent of"
[file type] can be any of the following :
1) "mp3"
2) "ogg"
3) "wma"
*You might want to try other music files as wel!
[mp3 name] can be any of the following :
1) the name of the album in quotes
2) the name of the artist in quotes
3) be daring and leave it blank and have lots of links
4) be creative!:D
[limitors]
1) -html -htm -php -asp -txt -pls
Descriptions:
(inurl:*) is optional and may be omitted and in fact most be omitted if not using a search tool other than google.
(intitle:*) can be used in place of (inurl:*) and has a similar effect again you must be useing google.
(-filetype:txt) adding this to the end of your search string can filter some false positives.
(-playlist) adding this to the end of your search string can filter some false positives.
Examples:
These are the most common way that mp3s are stored on the www, you
should try these strings first.
String Format :
Type 1 : [Directory String] + (inurl)[file type] + [mp3 name]
Type 2 : [Directory String] + (intitle)[file type] + [mp3 name]
Type 3 : [Directory String] + [file type] + [mp3 name] + [limitors]
Example Strings :
- intitle:index.of + mp3 + "grandaddy" -html -htm -php -asp -txt -pls
- "index of" + "mp3" + "radiohead" -html -htm -php
- "index of" + mp3 + "grandaddy"
- "index of" + inurl:mp3 + "beatles" -txt -pls
- "index of" + intitle:mp3 + beatles
- "last modified" + "ogg" + "dylan"
- "last modified" + inurl:ogg + "bob dylan"
- "parent of" + inurl:wma + "grandaddy"
Suggestions :
- Try (intitle:index.of + "mp3" + "band name" -htm -html -php -asp) first it
is usually the most effective.
Another Little Trick:
- If you have been getting alot of results on google but the pages don't seem
to be there try adding dates and the "apache" string to your search i.e.
- intitle:index.of + mp3 + "grandaddy" -html -htm -php -asp apache feb-2005
- intitle:index.of + mp3 + "grandaddy" -html -htm -php -asp apache 2005
or if you just want a big list of mp3' doing a search like this everymonth
- intitle:index.of + mp3 + -html -htm -php -asp apache mar
