Search for MP3 -- Google Is Napster

Where do you usually go to find the MP3s you want? Professional MP3 download websites (I remember using 9Days a long time ago, then came SoGua), or Baidu MP3, or BT, or eMule? Why not try the omnipotent Google? Since their goal is to make all information searchable on the Internet, how could a few MP3s possibly stump Google?

In fact, all of these methods are covered in Google Advanced Search Operators; it's just that most people don't know how to use them. Here's a brief introduction on how to use Google to search for downloadable MP3s online. Let's take Bon Jovi as an example: In the Google search bar, input:

```

-inurl:(htm|html|php) intitle:"index of" +"last modified" +"parent directory" +description +size +(wma|mp3) "Bon Jovi"

```

(You can replace "Bon Jovi" with another singer or song title.)

Similarly, you can turn Google into a tool for downloading e-books (replace wma|mp3 with e-book formats like pdf) or videos (mpg, wmv).

If you have any good ideas, please share them with everyone.
