Use Google to Search for Free Music
*disclaimer* While you are using legal tools (ie Google) to download this music, it is most likely not legal unless you own a tape or disc original.
I already knew how to use Google’s search commands to find lots of stuff, including music, open web cams, and ‘Evan Roberts‘ :), but it is not the easiest thing to explain to people. I often get the question from people, whats the best place to download music, or “how do I download music?”. My usually response is ‘use itunes’. Personally, I do not use itunes but it is extremely easy to use, even for non-tech people. If I WERE going to download some music w/o paying for it, I would probably use Bit Torrent. Bit Torrent is not for the average user though. It can do a lot of harm and get you in a lot of trouble if you do not know what you are doing.
Well, finally there is an alternative to itunes for people. It is using Google to find and download music without having to know extensive search parameters. The program is called G2P, which is essentially using “Google Hacks” to find links to where people have music which you can download. This is not legal. Google is finding folders on people’s webspace where they have shared music, most likely by accident.
With that said. Go here to Search. and comment on this post if you have any questions.
happy googling.

this also works for msn search, you just have to know what the search string is.
For example, intitle:index.of “mp3″ +”Korn” -htm -html -php -asp “Last Modified”
would pull up Korn MP3’s. You just have to type the search string in.
