Yahoo audio search is another favorite Non-Google application of mine, second to Live image search application. Now it’s got even better.

You can now search for audio files (MP3, WAV, MIDI, WMA or AAC)  on the Internet (Online music stores, the web or Podcasts), play the sample from within the search results and if satisfied with the quality and clarity, go ahead to download/buy the song.

In the more options menu, there are even more options to refine your search by selecting the file types you want (MP3, WAV, MIDI, WMA or AAC), the duration fo the song etc. Pretty handy options there!

Small hint here for music lovers: In case you are looking to buy tracks, select the “Online music Stores” option (default), but if you are looking for free downloading of MP3 music, select the “Search web” option.

Indeed a great piece of technology from Yahoo. Google has yet to catch up with it. Googlers..you there ?
