Less than a week and I am back to Google. I just couldn’t stand all the sponsored ads Ask Jeeves has right above their search results. For some searches I was seeing 10 ads taking up my entire browser window.

There’s no good alternative for Singingfish. Though there are some sites that contain a lot of music like esnips.

Ya’ll really need to use Sad Steve. It doesn’t have the bitrate listed, but the catalog is extensive, there are NO ADS, and there is even a nice section featuring new artists.

Just wanted to let you know about Grabb.it, which is new MP3 search tool. We also use XSPF, like Webjay did, and we have a few other tricks up our sleeve as well. Thanks for putting together this list!

You might want to check out http://skreemr.com as well – it’s mp3 only, but there’s lots of stuff and the links are checked regularly to make sure they work.

Webjay isn’t the same SingingFish, AOL Audio Search UK was.

@Jillian: The poster has an asterisk pointing to AOL, not webjay. But it's still not "same old." If you want real simple, maybe these 10 singingfish alternatives will satisfy you, although a couple are listed here as well.

I can’t believe it the Aol search uk site has now removed the advanced search page… Will the powers that be just leave us alone.. does anyone know how to get the old results pages to work (the ones which show file type)..?

Well , I went to all the above links that were posted and even though one poster said that Webjay was and I quote: “*still the same-old SingingFish, with a new look.” I did not find this true. Nothing at all like singing fish None of the above links are like singingfish. Singing fish was very , very , simple. No playlists to create. Just simply find the link and right click “save as” and it would either download streaming or download and then play. This is what I am looking for.

I am not a computer whiz. Just a novice who doesn’t know anything about creating playlists and such. Have read “How” , but find it all Greek. Looking for a simple method of finding a file and saving it . Just like singing fish. Simple , trouble free, and nice. None above qualify.

Hey, eSnips.com is a really great site as well. Check it out!

A very nice site, I didn’t even know this existed. I love how you can search for songs and generate your playlists on the fly to keep. I’ll definitely be adding this to my bookmarks. Thanks for opening our eyes :)

Sorry about not commenting here, Jason.

I’m VERY hesitant to comment on most WordPress blogs, because of a single reason:

“Mail (required)”

There is NO reason whatsoever to require an e-mail address, and as you can see, I usually fill it with an e-mail address not belonging to me. I vastly prefer a visual CAPTCHA, and although it’s less accessible, it’s much better as a spam filter.

I don’t even think Nathan has my mail address. Not out of privacy considerations, but out of principle.

Either way, my compliments on the nice blog post. As I said over on the Blognewschannel, I like AOL UK the best, even if it’s still worse than SingingFish. It’s most likely to replace the fish for me, although the URL isn’t “stuck in my fingers yet” – next time I’m looking for anything audio-related, I’m most likely to try different venues.

So if the Fish was caught by the music industry, which noticed the top ten searches done there, too bad for them. Don’t forget, I found quite some nice and legal music there – think Ian Ritchie, the composer of the Lonely Planet theme. [http://ian-ritchie.com/lp.htm]

A great music search engine. Probably the best out there. Allows creating playlists, saving searches, downloading songs, and more. http://46up.com + http://musicat.com
