(Ab)Using Google To Find Free MP3 Files

By  on  

I'm not one for posting hacks to illegally attain warez, mp3s, and eBooks, but a coworker showed this to me and I wanted to share it.

You can find MP3s using Google's advanced search capabilities. Say you're looking for some great Rod Stewart music. You'd go to Google and type:

intitle:index.of +?last modified? +?parent directory? +(mp3|wma|ogg) +"rod stewart" -htm -html -php -asp

Simply change the artist name and you can grab mp3s per the artist of your choice in directory listing format on numerous sites around the web!
