Hey, smart people of OC

I have a co-worker who is taunting me because I'm not able to find these recordings of her singing on the internet. She has verified the files are still there. It has gotten to the point that I am foregoing work to find the audio files.

I'm not asking for you to help sleuth -- just tell me where to look. I've looked on YouTube, Amazon, Songza, standard Y!Search, GIS, her college, her church, etc. Where else can I look??

Have you checked Myspace, Facebook, etc?

Do you know the song titles and is her name associated with the files? You can do a string search on the google if you know exactly what you're looking for.


http://www.google.com/search?hl=en&lr=&c2coff=1&q=-inurl%3Ahtm+-inurl%3Ahtml+intitle%3A%22index+of%22+%22Last+modi fied%22+mp3

Using this string we are using the "index of" and the inurl commands to attempt to isolate directories only. The mp3 tag on the end tells google to
look for mp3s in these open directories. You can change this to wma or ogg if you wish.

You can add additional search criteria to focus your search more.

This command will find open directories with mp3 files with A R Rahman. Obviously you can change the band name or file type to better define your
search. U Can do this by opening the first link and then towards the last of the searched thing..which is --- inurl:htm -inurl:html intitle:"index of"
mp3 , add "any artist name" for example .. "A R Rahman" "Backsreet Boys" etc....

for example

http://www.google.com/search?hl=en&lr=&c2coff=1&q=-inurl%3Ahtm+-inurl%3Ahtml+intitle%3A%22index+of%22+mp3+%22A+R+R ahman%22&btnG=Search

But I ain't one to gossip, so you ain't heard that from me.

This will work if the files are residing in an open directory only.

Try:

http://garageband.com/
http://www.mp3.com/

Yes found sister's myspace but that only dealt up photos, not music.

When I find this I'm going to kick myself if it's really obvious.

Depending how hip these tracks are, you could try Hype Machine (http://hypem.com/) or Seeqpod (http://www.seeqpod.com/).

So what exactly are you looking for, professionally released music or someone's home recordings linked to a personal homepage or blog?
