---------------------------------------------------------------------- = Index ---------------------------------------------------------------------- 0) Key 1) Directories 2) Xitami Servers 3) Directory Listing 4) Andromeda Servers 5) Zina Artists 6) Apache mp3 Servers 7) Individual Songs ---------------------------------------------------------------------- = Section 0 - KEY ---------------------------------------------------------------------- You this are just some definitions I will use below. [Directory String] can be any of the following : 1) "index of" 2) "last modified" 3) "parent of" [file type] can be any of the following : 1) "mp3" 2) "shn" 3) "wma" [mp3 name] can be any of the following : 1) the name of the album in quotes 2) the name of the artist in quotes 3) be daring and leave it blank and have lots of links 4) be creative! [limitors] 1) -html -htm -php -asp -txt -pls (inurl:) is optional and may be omitted and in fact most be omitted if not using a search tool other than google. (intitle:) can be used in place of (inurl:) and has a similar effect again you must be useing google. (-filetype:txt) adding this to the end of your search string can filter some false positives. (-playlist) adding this to the end of your search string can filter some false positives. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- = Section 1 - Directories ---------------------------------------------------------------------- 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] Example Strings : - intitle:index.of + mp3 + "grandaddy" -html -htm -php -asp -txt -pls - "index of" + "mp3" + "radiohead" -html -htm -php - "index of" + mp3 + "grandaddy" - "index of" + inurl:mp3 + "beatles" -txt -pls - "index of" + intitle:mp3 + beatles - "last modified" + "shn" + "dylan" - "last modified" + inurl:shn + "bob dylan" - "parent of" + inurl:wma + "grandaddy" Suggestions : - Try (intitle:index.of + "mp3" + "band name" -htm -html -php -asp) first it is usually the most effective. Another Little Trick: - If you have been getting alot of results on google but the pages don't seem to be there try adding dates and the "apache" string to your search i.e. - intitle:index.of + mp3 + "grandaddy" -html -htm -php -asp apache feb-2005 - intitle:index.of + mp3 + "grandaddy" -html -htm -php -asp apache 2005 or if you just want a big list of mp3' doing a search like this everymonth - intitle:index.of + mp3 + -html -htm -php -asp apache mar ---------------------------------------------------------------------- = Section 2 - Xitami Servers ---------------------------------------------------------------------- String Format : Type 1 : "xitami web server" + (inurl:)[file type] + [mp3 name] Type 2 : "xitami web server" + (intitle:)[file type] + [mp3 name] Example Strings : - "xitami web server" + "mp3" + "radiohead" - "xitami web server" + intitle:shn + "beatles" - "xitami web server" + inurl:mp3 + "magnetic fields" ---------------------------------------------------------------------- = Section 3 - Directory Listing ---------------------------------------------------------------------- String Format : Type 1 : "directory listings" + (inurl:)[file type] + [mp3 name] Type 2 : "directory listings" + (intitle:)[file type] + [mp3 name] Type 3 : "directory listings of" + (inurl:)[file type] + [mp3 name] Type 4 : "directory listings of" + (intitle:)[file type] + [mp3 name] Example Strings - "directory listings" + "mp3" + "radiohead" - "directory listings" + intitle:shn + "beatles" - "directory listings" + inurl:mp3 + "magnetic fields" - "directory listings of" + "mp3" + "radiohead" - "directory listings of" + intitle:shn + "beatles" - "directory listings of" + inurl:mp3 + "magnetic fields" ---------------------------------------------------------------------- = Section 4 - Andromeda Servers ---------------------------------------------------------------------- String Format : Type 1 : "scott matthews" + andromeda + [mp3 name] Type 2 : "scott matthews" + andromeda + [file type] + [mp3 name] Type 3 : "powered by andromeda" + [mp3 name] Type 4 : "powered by andromeda" + [file type] + [mp3 name] Type 5 : inurl:andromeda.php + [mp3 name] Type 6 : inurl:anromeda.php + [file type] + [mp3 name] Type 7 : "scott matthews" Type 8 : "powered by andromeda" Type 9 : inurl:andromeda.php Examples : - "scott matthews" + andromeda + "radiohead" - "scott matthews" + andromeda + "mp3" + "fitter" - "powered by andromeda" + "gradaddy" - "powered by andromeda" + "mp3" + "just like women" - inurl:andromeda.php + "shn" - inurl:anromeda.php + "wma" + "dylan" - "scott matthews" - "powered by andromeda" - inurl:andromeda.php ---------------------------------------------------------------------- = Section 5 - Zina Artists ---------------------------------------------------------------------- String Format : Type 1 : "zina artists" Examples : - "zina artists" ---------------------------------------------------------------------- = Section 6 - Apache mp3 Servers ---------------------------------------------------------------------- String Format : Type 1 : "stream all" + apache + [mp3 name] Type 2 : "stream all" + apache Type 3 : "shuffle all" + apache + [mp3 name] Type 4 : "shuffle all" + apache Examples : - "stream all" + apache - "stream all" "shuffle all" mp3 - "stream all" + apache + radiohead - "shuffle all" + beatles ---------------------------------------------------------------------- = Section 7 - Individual Songs ---------------------------------------------------------------------- Format : [mp3 name].mp3 -playlist -filetype:txt Examples : - "ok_computer_live.mp3" -playlist -filetype:txt - "*ok_computer*.mp3" -playlist -filetype:txt - kid*a.mp3 -playlist -filetype:txt GOOD LUCK!!
