Nothing original here, just an advanced way to search using google for those directories of music that people upload so they can listen to their music wherever they want.
It's cool, but a bit hit and miss, but always worth a try, enter the following search string.
intitle:"index of" (mp3|avi) song.title -html -htm -php -asp -cf -jsp
where of course song.title is the name of the song you want to search for.
The intitle bit looks for directories (or folders) which are open
(mp3|avi) sets which file extensions you want to look for, so you could also search for videos, or any other form of file you want.
Separate the words with . (full stop) instead of spaces as google uses a . as a wild card so will pick up "song title" "song_title" or "song-title" etc.
The list of -html -htm etc. makes sure (or tries to) to not just find file listings.
It works surprisingly well, but does sometimes pick up spam directories that lead you to mp3 sales sites, you often find empty directories where the files have been removed since google indexed them, and I once found the directory had since been protected as the owner had realised what was going on.
Hope this helps
