I recently came across several interesting music search sites and figured I’d lump them together into one post.<\/p>\n

Google has now started offering targeted results when search parameters look like musical groups, songs, or lyrics. There is also a specific Google Music Search<\/a> site that is pretty decent. It pales in comparison to authoritative sites like All-Music Guide<\/a>, but for now at least<\/a>, it’s not trying to compete in that arena. \ud83d\ude09<\/p>\n

musicmap<\/a> also drives you to music commerce sites via a pretty neat Flash map-like interface. It too isn’t as complete as it could be, but the eye candy almost makes up for it.<\/p>\n

Finally, lyricsfly.com<\/a> offers a refreshingly sparse interface for lyrics searches that builds on the Google Suggest code<\/a>. The site is a marked contrast to the often ad-ridden, pop-up laden lyrics search sites out there. I exclude my lyrics page<\/a> from that characterization, of course ;-), and there are a good amount of links to other lyrics sites and search engines on that page as well, most of which avoid that route too.<\/p>\n

I hope you find those sites useful. I have a feeling that I’ll be updating this post as I think of sites that I overlooked…<\/p>\n
