Step1

From the Google search engine, for instance, simply type the code you see in the Step One image (to the left of this text.

IMPORTANT: Click on the image that belongs to STEP ONE of this article, which contains the code needed to complete the process.

Alternatively, you can download a small Notepad file containing the text (for your copying/pasting pleasure) located in the External Resources below, at the end of this article.

NOTE: It was impossible for me to simply paste the code here, for this site does not fully support HTML when composing articles.

Step2

Replace the text "BAND NAME HERE" (located at the end of the string) to the artist you're looking for. Google will mostly return results from the artist in question, offering multiple indexes of MP3s READY TO BE LISTENED TO.

Step3

Please note that NOT all search results will be a direct hit of the artist you're looking for, as many indexes will have various artists included.

IMPORTANT: THE MUSIC YOU FIND SHOULD ONLY BE AVAILABLE AS SAMPLES, AND YOU SHOULD ALWAYS CONTAIN THE ORIGINAL SONG, SHOULD YOU CHOOSE TO SAVE IT.

Tips & Warnings

If the code did not work (not finding any results) make sure you typed it correctly, including all spaces as needed.
