Using Google Search Engine to find Shared MP3 (and other) Files

This is how I find shared MP3 files, Ebooks, and texts that are shared on the web instead of using programs such as Limewire. This search engine works similar to Limewire type programs, but with no programs to download and slow down your computer. The search engine is able to find files that are uploaded and shared online. Most of the time, you have to do a little "digging" to find just what you're looking for, some sites are hosting files that aren't shared, and you will not be able to download the files. The creator of this google super search engine does state: "By downloading from google we mean searching the google index in a specific way to find "index of" directories which may contain the file you're seeking. If you know or suspect a site you want to download from is not an authorized distributer or is distributing files illegally do not download from them. Do not use this service to knowingly try to acquire copyright media from sources that you know aren't authorized distributers."
**Please note the safety precautions, disclaimers, and instructions on the search page**


Utilizing the link above.... type the song, artist, title, etc., into the search box and click "Super Google Search," (I typed in Rocky Top...)
Several matches to your selection will appear:
Then start choosing which site has the best match for your selection and click on it.... I chose that second link and was sent to this:
Now... important.... RIGHT CLICK (as shown above) on the MP3 file you find and choose "Save Target As."
Now, just save your file where you normally save these type files!

You can also find great educational articles, texts, and books with this engine, too, by using the drop down menu as shown below!
