Ever wanted to download the new song of your favourite band or singer? Or a new movie? You don’t have to pay a lot of money or use illegal methods like filesharing with Peer 2 Peer and torrent downloads.

Google, as usual, has an easy solution for this.

If you open any folder without index document on a website, the web server will usually give you a list of all files and folders like the windows explorer. This list always contains a link to the parent folder. So if you want to search for a folder view, the first query we need is “parent directory”.

Query: “parent directory”

Now we don’t want to see usual web documents like HTML files. Using a dash before our search query, we tell google that we want to see only pages NOT containing this word. Most web documents have the file extension “html”, “htm”, “php” and so on, so we exclude all of them.

Query: “parent directory” -html -htm -php -shtml

There are some more types of documents we don’t want to see, like MD5 checksums or DivX video streams, so we just add them as well.

Query: “parent directory” -html -htm -php -shtml -opendivx -md5 -md5sums

What’s missing? Ah right, the song or movie we’re searching for! Adding its name to the end of our query, the search is perfect!
With this query, you can find many songs from e.g Rihanna:

“parent directory” -html -htm -php -shtml -opendivx -md5 -md5sums rihanna

Your result may look something like this:

Just choose any website now, you will get a list of some songs, right-click on them and select “Save file as…”.

That’s it! So easy you find your music!
