MP3 Search Script

By Keilly Goldman

Do a search for MP3 music and undoubtedly you will be inundated of results. Many MP3 search seem free at first, but are in fact a cesspool of spyware and adware. These sites infect your computer and could put you financially at risk as well as all the other annoyances of having spyware and adware on your computer

These spyware and adware collect all kinds of data on the users of the computers they infect like surfing habits, sites visited, users keystrokes and even installing software without users knowing. If a new browser pops open by itself on your computer with some tacky ad on it, then you probably been infected by adware and you should run your anti-virus.

One of the top music search engines have been known to infect up to 80% of computers that use its search function and all sorts of valuable data can be collected once infected. This data could even end up with the trial lawyers as a means to prosecute users for illegal downloads, as has happened in the past. So a good firewall is necessary and knowing what sites are safe should be foremost if you want to surf for free music downloads in the net.

What are MP3 Search engines? They are sites that have a search function that allow you to find virtually any piece of music on the net. This music may be downloaded or streamed directly to your player.

ClipNiche.com is a commercial MP3 search engine script solution. If you have your own site, you can purchase a script and upload it to your site so you can have a customised MP3 search script. We were impressed by this search engine script and found it to be quite sophisticated as it found every song title and artist we typed in.

The site has a free demo page that allows anyone unlimited use of the search tool and allows the user to stream or download the music and no adware or spyware detected.

It is not illegal to listen to streamed music on the net. The only problem you may have is if you download and actively distribute music. The music industry is becoming less and less likely to go after MP3 music search any more as they wee the potential of these search engines to promote music and drive hard sales. - 15336
