Try this....maybe you'll find it....maybe not....
Surf to google.com
Copy and paste this string and search:
"parent directory" mp3 OR wma OR ogg "pink floyd" -htm -html
("pink floyd" is the example here....make it any band/artist...)
Anything between the "." is taken as a whole word, so google won't go looking for all the parent/kids sites.
"Parent Directory" is at the top of all the index pages and is probably the most important word in the search string. The -htm -html at the end just says only give me pages without and index.htm or index.html
When you go to a web page, if it doesn't have an index.htm or index.html it will load as a directory or "dex".
The OR is another powerful little thing. The "mp3 OR wma" directs the search engine to give you any page with "either" of these two file names in it. You can also use "pinkfloyd OR "pink floyd" to join multi work band names together ... it will then search for both at the same time. In the search results the first few returned indexes should be okay, but you will get a lot of spam as well. There could be some gold in successive pages, though....so check around.
