G2P - Find Mp3s with google, and skip the P2P


Forget those crazy long search strings you've been using to snag Mp3s via the web using Google; G2P makes it an effortless transaction. Just point, click, type in the name of the band or song you're looking for and, presto, instant results.

A few quick tests with the G2P interface show that it does find files containing the artist name, and with an extension of "mp3". The trick uses a default behavior of the Apache webserver to identify pages that have been indexed in Google containing the standard Apache boilerplate that's generated when a published directory has no index file.

We realize we've just blown away any chance you had of getting some work done on Friday but, those are the breaks. For the less musical but more tech-geeky among our flock, G2P also searches for PDF eBooks.
