Jimmy's Music Finder

Filed in archive Internet , Technology on June 27, 2007

Jimmy Ruska's Awesome Video Blog at jimmyr.com proves there is plenty of unauthorized music sitting on the web, courtesy of Google and your browser. No need to fire up your P2P software.

The web search site features an MP3 button with a slick approach. Enter your keyword and the search doesn't return specific songs. Instead it returns the parent directory. Click on the directory and you see all the files, typically songs, in those directories. Jimmy's web script takes care of the complicated Google syntax and formatting.

It's a throwback to the P2P days when you could browse other user's shared files. I gave it a spin. Your browser is a poor substitute to a P2P client to download multiple songs and there typically are much fewer results. But the download success rate is much higher.
