When it comes to locating tunes, SongBoxx stands out as a one-of-a-kind website which has the ability to search many cheap music stores (including some of the ones in the previous post I made) at once and give you the most comprehensive results possible. Instead of searching music services separately for that special track you just have to have for your collection, this site does all the dirty work and finds exactly what you want and tells you where to get it.
SongBoxx searches over 4,000,000 tracks, 300,000 albums, and 162,000 artists (as of this writing), which is far more than any other site out there. If you can’t find what you are looking for here, then it probably doesn’t exist.
Normal searches produce absolutely tons of results (for more mainstream artists, that is) – so it is certainly a good thing that the results appear in a table that is sortable by clicking on the column headers. It was able to find results for everything I could throw at it – even the most obscure things I could think of. Here are some examples of the types of search results you’ll get:
- The search term ‘U2′ produced 7 artists with that term in the name. Clicking on just ‘U2′ (which is what I was aiming for) produced over 150 albums (I stopped counting at 150). That’s crazy! In addition to the original albums by U2, there are tons of bootlegs, live albums, collection albums, special editions – you name it.
- Searching for ‘Bjork’ found similar numbers, about 154 albums in all.
- ‘Pau Van Dyk ‘ produced 176 results, which far more than any single site out there produces.
When you finally find the track or album that you’re interested in, you are presented with links to each website where you can buy what you’re interested in. You can also see the payment methods accepted by each site before you decide where you want to buy your tracks from.
One last thing: obscure artists come up with more results than you’ll get anywhere else. A search for the “Flying Burrito Brothers”, for example, comes back with 15 albums. You can’t find those kinds of results for such an unknown band anywhere else!
So take a look at SongBoxx – the largest music meta search engine on the internet. You’ll certainly find what you’re looking for.
