This guide will teach you how to use google to find mp3s. This guide will be highly pragmatic and will focus on the hows and not the wherefores of the various search strings.

You this are just some definitions I will use below.
[Directory String] can be any of the following :
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]

Here is a second example of maximizing search results on Google:
This tip helps you find directories filled with mp3 files by finding Apache's Index page:
Finding mp3 and compressed files searching by title:
just type the following line in your google search box and see experience a new world of finding games
for games
"parent directory" nokia games -xxx -html -htm -php -shtml -opendivx -md5 -md5sums
for tones
"parent directory " nokia polyphonic -xxx -html -htm -php -shtml -opendivx -md5 -md5sums
for symbian games
"parent directory " symbian games -xxx -html -htm -php -shtml -opendivx -md5 -md5sums
for Wallpapers
"parent directory " nokia wallpapers -xxx -html -htm -php -shtml -opendivx -md5 -md5sums
for general Midi
"parent directory " midi -xxx -html -htm -php -shtml -opendivx -md5 -md5sums
also try using "Index of" instead of "parent directory"
and other tips:
You've probably seen some sites that allow you to Google their site for a certain term. This is accomplished via the "site" advanced operator. The following syntax is used for the site operator:
site:site_to_search
For example, if we wanted to search www.projectfearless.com
for the term "Nielsosky", we would use the following:
Nielsosky site:projectfearless.com
or example:
site:blabla.com
The "inurl" advanced operator is used to search for a term within URL's. For example, searching for "inurl:binaryuniverse" searched for all sites that have the term "binaryuniverse" in their URL.
The "intitle" is used to search for a term in the title. Thus, "intitle:binaryuniverse" finds all pages with "binaryuniverse" in their title.
Google keeps caches of pages. When the Google spider indexes a page, it stores a copy of it. Thus, the cache is a copy of what the page was like at an earlier date. To view the cache for a page, you can simply search for the page, and then click the "cache" link underneath. However, there is a quicker way, that involves only typing in search terms, and not clicking.
Simply type "cache:pageurl.com" to view the cache of a page (in this case pageurl.com).
Google also allows you to search for pages of a certain filetype, using the syntax "filetype:TYPE". Replace 'TYPE' with the file type you want to search for. So, if you wanted to search for tutorials on SQL that are in PDF format, you would search for the following:
SQL Tutorial filetype: PDF
Not only is Google the world's best search engine, it also happens to be a mighty fine dictionary. To use it as a dictionary, just type "define:TERM", and replace TERM with the word you wish to look up. For example, if you want to look up "roflmao", type "define:roflmao", without the quotes. This will give you several different resources for definitions or roflmao. Fyi, roflmao means "rolling on the floor laughing my ass off".
And now, it's time for some fun -- Google whacking. Actually, after a couple minutes, I have found Google whacking to become extremely boring, not to mention frustrating. A google whack is a two-word query that returns one result. You may not use quotes, and both words in the query must be real words. At this point, the basics of Google have been covered, and you should be a moderately good Googler.
put this string in google search:
"parent directory " /appz/ -xxx -html -htm -php -shtml -opendivx -md5 -md5sums
"parent directory " DVDRip -xxx -html -htm -php -shtml -opendivx -md5 -md5sums
"parent directory "Xvid -xxx -html -htm -php -shtml -opendivx -md5 -md5sums
"parent directory " Gamez -xxx -html -htm -php -shtml -opendivx -md5 -md5sums
"parent directory " MP3 -xxx -html -htm -php -shtml -opendivx -md5 -md5sums
"parent directory " Name of Singer or album -xxx -html -htm -php -shtml -opendivx -md5 -md5sums
Notice that i am only changing the word after the parent directory, change it to what you want and you will get a lot of stuff.
put this string in google search:
?intitle:index.of? mp3
You only need add the name of the song/artist/singer.
Example: ?intitle:index.of? mp3 jackson
put this string in google search:
inurl:microsoft filetype:Huh
put this string in google search:
intitle:index.of.Huh
put this string in google search:
"name of object"download
"name of object download"
free "name of object"download
free "name of object download"
Or just look for the filename(s). and instead of using the inurl: tag, use site: that works too.
Check a test for rapidshare and for software and various files or movies or music.
Just play with the extensions.
inurl:ebook.DDU | inurl:ebook.EEN | inurl:ebook.JGT | inurl:ebook.LiB | inurl:ebook.EAT
There's a few ways to differentiate from that to change the outcome in your favor as well. For example, you can take away the "inurl:" to get many hits on things like forum posts or BitTorrent links. (Helpful if you're looking for something rare.).
You can also add the file type you like (such as PDF, CHM, LIT, etc) to get a specialized search. Finally, don't forget to put () or else Google may get confused. When defining a OR statement, Google expects the () to surround it. For example, you could search for:
