What is Digg?55 Comments
- inactive, on 10/12/2007, -12/+41I'll bet that this is digg, and since this story is posted at least once a week, pretty much everybody here has done it.
- Yarnage, on 10/12/2007, -4/+19CPU Quota? HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA
*breath*
HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA - theredbicycle, on 10/12/2007, -1/+15Some people have referrers being blocked, or could be surfing through a proxy which probably wouldn't work either. Believe it or not, referrers are completely client side and aren't always sent.

Too bad they don't mention the whole CPU quota issue... - stephenwq, on 10/12/2007, -0/+7I use Dogpile Audio search, much more convenient, and designed for finding music files. Try it. http://www.dogpile.com
- marioluigi123, on 10/12/2007, -0/+5or http://www.g2p.org if you're lazy. Also, try http://www.singingfish.com which works for both audio and video. It returns a nice-looking set of results (read: not just plain text). Also, http://www.sogou.com is useful too...just translate it from Chinese (Traditional, I believe). You'll see a music button and after a search, just click on the little button that looks like a hard drive with an arrow pointing down. It's not too hard.
- expiredmeatbag, on 10/12/2007, -0/+5Wasn't Napster the Napster of 2000?
- merr, on 10/12/2007, -13/+18http://www.duggmirror.com/
- NightRush, on 10/12/2007, -0/+4Don't worry if the site is down, Do a simple search, this same story will pop up a dozen or so times..
- inactive, on 11/10/2007, -5/+9screw google, just use altavista's mp3/audio search. It's implemented right into their search engine. You can look for mp3's, wav, mpeg, you name it. I've been using it for a good couple years now, and it comes in handy so much I've decided to add it to my firefox toolbar.
- antdude, on 10/12/2007, -3/+6Or http://duggmirror.com/tech_news/Turn_Google_into_Napster_2000/ if referral is disabled/blocked.
- FireStrife, on 10/12/2007, -1/+4I remember a digg article a while back it had discussed this and pointed to a site that had made it easier to do this without typing in all the code.
The site was www.g2p.org if i recall, it does the same thing in the article. - jjk5, on 10/12/2007, -8/+11If you took the time to click the link, you'd notice that DuggMirror automatically reads the referring URL (this digg) and redirects to the mirror of said Digg.
- terrya64, on 10/12/2007, -0/+2http://www.ironlab.org/projects/findmusic.php
same thing but simpler. - lcarsdeveloper, on 10/12/2007, -0/+1You do realise that the spammers now know people search this way, and they create pages that supposedly link to various mp3 files, but when you click to download them they redirect you elsewhere. I'd say around 70-80% of all the mp3s you find when you search like this are fakes.
PS: "Napster 2000"...what, so using this technique turns Google into a 6 year old version of Napster? Adding 2000 to something to make it futuristic stopped working in the year 2000. - krinn, on 10/12/2007, -0/+1You're not going to find very many mp3s on google.
Try a search for "mp3 filetype:mp3". You get 986 hits. Out of all the millions of mp3s on the internet it finds only 986 because these results have been filtered at the request of you-know-who.
You used to be able to find music by searching for filetype:ogg instead of mp3, however about 6 months ago they started blocking those too. In fact, the ogg filter is now so restrictive that if you search for filetype:ogg, you get only one site (wikimedia.org).
Google is pretty much bending over backwards for the RIAA. You are not going to find music with google by searching for "mp3" unless the site is on their (very short) whitelist. - iAlex, on 10/12/2007, -2/+2Bluehost does not appear to be able to handle "digg effects".
- mattvenables, on 10/12/2007, -0/+1ever heard of http://www.srchfor.com ? That does essentially the same thing as they discuss in the article. Music, Video, and eBooks/Documents.
- xeno439, on 10/12/2007, -3/+4Saw this today actually.

Who was first? - hugehead83, on 10/12/2007, -1/+2This "Google Hack" has been around for a while. Give http://www.g2p.org a try. Very handy Google MP3 search. Original Article: http://digg.com/links/Think_of_P2P_file_sharing,_except_google_is_one_of_those_people._G2P.ORG
- inactive, on 10/12/2007, -1/+2i made a php script for this :), http://xtcrules.com/googlemusic same concept though :)
- lament, on 10/12/2007, -0/+1dugg..
why?
because it's been on here at least 10 times before and it'll be easy to find. - MrSidnet, on 10/12/2007, -1/+2Im a little late..but
www.g2p.org
Same thing, only easy to use. - MrDorkESQ, on 10/12/2007, -0/+1BTW my search site is here:
http://home.nc.rr.com/mrdork/open_dir_search/ - kendetroit, on 10/12/2007, -0/+1....and altavista's image search is top rate as well....try it out for pr0n.
- ostracize, on 10/12/2007, -0/+1Agreed with much of what was said here. This method can sometimes be effective but usually requires half an hour or more of searching before you can finally get a hold of a complete and valid version of the song you are looking for. It is generally most effective for the overplayed crap on the radio. If you want a more obscure song, or one that hasn't had much attention recently, you're going to have to find different solutions.
- blargman, on 10/12/2007, -0/+1@moonwell - yes they are going to disable inurl command, *rollseyes*
- MrDorkESQ, on 10/12/2007, -0/+1So here is the problem:
For a year or more I have been using this complicated google search string to find files on the web.
2 months ago I made a web interface for it. I can back this claim up with e-mails and the original source code that I saved.
It isn't pretty because I made it mostly for my personal use.
Now this Marc and Angel dude puts my (crappy) code on his blog and takes credit for it?.
Kids, you can't take them anywhere. - gappon, on 01/27/2008, -0/+0who can remember all those Google search strings, this site does it for you www.gappon.com
cheers - netferret, on 10/12/2007, -0/+0Personally I dont think this will be that useful, as by the time you goto to one of the results that are found the mp3's have already been moved or changed and google doesnt seem to cache mp3's :(
I think its probably best to stick with the likes of Limewire and MIRC. - systech, on 10/12/2007, -0/+0I use http://www.ickstuff.com/ , really useful tool ;)
- goodbyepolar, on 10/12/2007, -2/+2http://www.exploseek.com is another good one.
- Teaboy, on 10/12/2007, -1/+1It's only Napster 2000 if it doesn't support resume!
- joeshirt, on 10/12/2007, -1/+1http://www.srchfor.com ! i use it
- HossStyle, on 10/12/2007, -0/+0Everyone who uses this kind of code ripped it off from somewhere else as far as I'm concerned. I've been using these advanced google search strings for well over a year and I certainly didn't find out about it on any of these newer sites. It's just one person reclaiming the credit and slightly modifying it... besides, their simple search engine interface can be built in 3 seconds using basic HTML forms and instruction found right off of Google's FAQs.
- Bob_Oliver, on 10/12/2007, -1/+1Another link to http://g2p.org ...
- Snowcone, on 10/12/2007, -1/+1http://www.tech-recipes.com/rx/851/google_find_free_mp3s_wmas_oggs_and_other_music_files
- dpgnome, on 10/12/2007, -0/+035 minutes ago, MrDorkESQ posted that the code contained in this post was his. Its true, because I've been using MrDrkESQ's open directory search page since the first week of September. The search page posted by these bloggers is a direct rip off, and gives no credit to MrDorkEsq.
- inactive, on 10/12/2007, -2/+1Exploseek doesn't do very well, I just tried it with the test bed song I was using and came up with nothing.
It is an obscure (Tom Waits) song though - Brocclibob, on 10/12/2007, -1/+0Dupe, again...
@Lament, genius idea! and i am not being sarcastic. - inactive, on 10/12/2007, -2/+1Yeah cool but, u never tought guys @t g00gle continously read articles like this and they disable straight that search or they make their way to don't get any results only garbage?
You can try older search from Johnny's GHDB and you come to the same conclusion. - sezzme, on 10/12/2007, -1/+0So when is the Firefox extension for this function coming out?
There's gotta be one coming out... SOMEwhere...
I hope. - kalleanka, on 10/12/2007, -3/+1Thx.
- wwwdot1jesdotus, on 10/12/2007, -5/+3First of all, thats nothing like napster and secondly, I've had way better luck finding music using Alta Vista than Google.
- EbenieRosa, on 10/12/2007, -5/+2This is amazing String of Text,. is really so cools! I'm find song!!!!
- TheReport, on 10/12/2007, -17/+14I dont mean to be condescending but if you havent figured this out after a weeks use of Google you should not be on digg, at least the Tech section.
This is the same argument that torrent search engiines use unfortnatly the recent or not so recent raids of the piratebay and other torrent sites prove that argument would probably never hold up in an American court. - NaterGator, on 10/12/2007, -9/+4For the lazy:
http://duggmirror.com/tech_news/Turn_Google_into_Napster_2000 - artsky, on 10/12/2007, -6/+0site down. can't handle digg :)
- inactive, on 10/12/2007, -8/+1The Google Cheat Sheet includes how to do this, and more...
Link: http://www.adelaider.com/google/ :) - z00k, on 10/12/2007, -13/+5... Well damn... That died quick... but yeah... Marked as Lame for Being down and old... If you dont know about this please turn off your computer.
