How to use Google as instead of Limewire by searching the directories of the web instead of the actual websites.
Steps
-
Go to Google and type intitle: "index.of" (wma|mp3|mp4|midi) and the song title . As an example, we'll use amazing.grace . Here's what each segment means:- intitle:"index.of" - tells Google to search only the directories where all the files are stored.
- (wmv|mp3|mp4|midi) - instructs Google what file types to look for. You can also do this with movies, pdf, etc.
- amazing.grace - the name of the song. Make sure to use periods instead of spaces. That tells Google to look for spaces, underscores, periods, or whatever.
-
After finding what you want, right click on the file and click "Save Target As" to download it.Advertisement -
Alternatively, copy and paste this advanced code to get rid of spam: intitle:"index.of/" song.name (mp3|wma)-asp -htm -html -cf -jsp -site:mp3fusion.net -site:seeqpod.com -site:freechristianaudiobooks.com -site:mp3-network.net -site:bibleforums.org -site:e-mp3s.eu -site:hubpages.com -site:metacritic.com -site:blogspot.com -biodigital.free.fr -uprecords.com -lyrics-realm.com and replace song.name with the name of your song using periods in the place of spaces.

Another website has a search engine powered by Google but makes it easy for you to search by type of music file. Go to mp3.sogou.com.- Note: The website is in Chinese, but search results will come up in English. Don't worry if you can't read 90% of the page.

In the search bar at the top, type in the name of the song that you're looking for. Then choose the "mp3" radio button. -
You'll see a search results page that looks like the following screenshot. Click on the "Download" icon next to the file that you want.- Pay attention to the file size to make sure the file you are downloading is likely to be the song.
