(inurl:) is optional and may be omitted and in fact must be omitted if 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.
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

G2P
What does G2P do?
G2P (Google to Person) Beta v0.2 uses some crafty Google searches to help locate open directories or otherwise shared files. These searches are nothing secret (In fact, take a look at the results, so you can see how it is done. However, it is much easier to remember g2p.org than these complex searches.
Why use G2P instead of P2P or BT?
P2P/BT is being monitored -- Using Google we can download a lot more safely. We are simply just following a link -- curious how it leads directly to the file we are looking for. =)
