| FAQ / How does this Video-Mp3-Lirycs search GetThisSong.com work, then? |
| Where GetThisSong get links from? The search is powered primarily by Google Search Engine, with some scripts that are helping this to be possible. Google Search Engine also help us out with the Video end Lirycs results. It uses results from their collective databases, and then applies special algorithms to make sure you only get the tastiest, freshest tracks. |
| So why not just use the sites themselves, then? Well, their interfaces are usually pretty bad. Either fool whit popup windows, virus, required sign ups, inability to download, or having to tweak the search to get MP3's of a reasonable length... the list goes on. Even then, you need to navigate N webpages until you fiind the download button. We don't! |
| So how does your searcher work, then? Well, we submit the query to the databases. We then are presented with a huge list of potentially errors links; so we cycle through each one, checking they're okay. This ensures you don't get a 404 webpage (page not found), and the site is of reasonable download speed. Some sites won't be fast enough to stream from; that's the nature of the internet. |
| Can I link to you? Sure, it's a free internet! |

| I'm a Lawyer. Stop giving music out! Okay, we understand. Here's where we stand legally. We do not host music played through this service on this server, and we do not store an internal database of where to find the music. Our data comes entirely from external providers. It is streamed from the site stated underneath, or to the side of the flash player. These are the people hosting the music, not us. This is simply an indexing service with an algorithm to validate results. If you want to tell anyone off, go after the data providers. We get the results through them, and analyse them. We are not enabling, assisting or encouraging copyright infringement, we are refining existing data which is freely accessible on the internet. The data we use comes from external providers.
