Searching MP3 files using search engine is no longer a hard thing to do especially when people have found various ways to search for the MP3 files. Why we choose the audio format is also another long topic to speak about, but the main reason is the mass availability of that type of file in the internet nowadays. Now, here are the simple guide on how to search for those music that you like, both in WMA and MP3 format:
First method:
Using altered Google, Yahoo, and MSN Search search string to find the files. This method will use the search engines to search for unprotected directory of the audio files.
How to: Click on the link below. Change the detail according to your liking (replace Band Singer with the actual artist name or just the song name). You can change the “wma/mp3″ tag to other format such as “ogg” only if you wish. For the search engines, it works similarly. You just need to change the band/singer or song again.
Google:
“parent directory” mp3 OR wma OR ogg OR wav Band/Singer -html -htm -download -links
parent directory” AND (Band AND Singer) AND (mp3 OR wma OR ogg) AND NOT(“download”) AND NOT(“links”)
parent directory” AND (Band AND Singer) AND (mp3 OR wma OR ogg) AND NOT(“download”) AND NOT(“links”)
Second Method:
You can use multimedia search engines to find the audio files that you need. Several multimedia search engines that I highly recommend are: Alltheweb Audio (mp3), mp3realm and espew. The only cons is, it indexes pages less than Google.
Nah, I manage to find a full album with these methods above. How about you?

I’ve made a special search engine for this! It’s called Search Hacker. You can easily find MP3 files and many other file type formats like: mpg, avi, mov, wmv, 3gp, webcams, torrents, wav, mid, avi,…you name it!
Have a try.

Search Hacker has a sister site called Cam Hacker which can be used for searching unprotected live webcams. Search Hacker deservers to be in your bookmarks, however, if you are a hard working sucker, then you can try searching the hard way. http://www.camhacker.com

wauww nice tip thanks I will search mp3 like that
November 1st, 2007 at 3:21 am
you can also try replacing “parent directory” with intitle:”index of /” I have successfully used for searching files.
January 7th, 2008 at 2:22 pm
The Google search is the best by far. The others either link to crappy, useless MP3 download search sites or pull up useless websites full of anything but a parent directory listing available MP3s.
February 3rd, 2008 at 9:29 pm
Nice trick, thanks
February 6th, 2008 at 9:30 pm
i never try it using search engine parent directory..thanks for the sharing, usually im just using http://www.topmusics.info to search for mp3/wma file. More alternative for mp3 seekers.
February 16th, 2008 at 5:23 pm
Amazing, i used to use the following, in case it’s only a song i’m searching for:
“intitle:index.of:” (mp3 OR ogg OR m4a) Green Day
February 25th, 2008 at 11:07 am

I use limewire in downloading mp3s because i found it faster.
June 25th, 2008 at 3:57 pm
Newsgroups is the fastest and safest way to go, although choices can be a bit limited sometimes on the MP3 side.
February 14th, 2009 at 11:17 am
i tried this trick but it gives a lot of irrelevant sites.i guess the site’s have caught on this trick
May 5th, 2009 at 12:40 pm
Too bad limewire loads spyware onto your comp!
