Any Audio Searcher

Even though songs can easily be listened to online through specific services, most can’t be downloaded because of copyright rules. Some are, however available as free downloads, but you might not find them so easily over the web. In this regard, Any Audio Searcher wants to help you easily find songs and audio files on the web in different formats.

It doesn’t take long to get the application installed on the computer to take a look over the set of features. However, both the installer and the program require .NET Framework to function, so you need to make sure it’s already on your computer, even though modern Windows iterations come with it as a default feature.

The application comes with a custom-made interface and a simple, yet highly-intuitive design which doesn’t pose any accommodation problems. The only inconvenience here is that there’s no possibility to move it across the desktop, resize, or minimize the main window.

Needless to say that your Internet connection needs to be active during the whole operation since results are looked up, and displayed online. Input needs to consist of the tag, song name, or audio file name of interest. Selecting the desired output format which can be MP3, WMA, or WAV starts the search.

Your default web browser is brought up with a results page provided by Google. Unfortunately, the search expression bundled in the application’s configuration is a little outdated, and there’s little to no chance you actually find anything even close to what you’re looking for. Moreover, default configuration options cannot be changed.

Taking everything into consideration, we can say that Any Audio Searcher comes with good intentions, but with the lack of any recent updates its practicality is in freefall. The visual design is intuitive, with different output options, but you’re surely better off with alternatives, at least for the time being.
