There’s tons of MP3 music search tools out there on the net but some can be very dangerous. A lot of search tools appear ‘free’ at first, you might be paying a lot more than you bargained for with a computer infected with adware and spyware.
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.
It is known that as much as 85% of MP3 search engine scripts infect the computers that use their search functions. Even the music industries trial lawyers have been known to pay for this information to prosecute users. So a good firewall is needed and a bit of knowledge on what sites are safe for a good MP3 search experience
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.
We like ClipNiche.com, which is a commercial script which can be purchased from the site and uploaded to your website. We tested the search functionality with a few difficult artists and songs not easily found on the Net. Clipniche came uptrumps every time finding not only songs, but also many related titles, soundtracks, etc.
Clipniche also allows user to demo their script. This means that you have unlimited search for all your favourite artists and songs on a site that is guaranteed spyware free.
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.
