Specialized mp3 search engines that let users download the mp3 songs found for free seem to appear by the dozen every week. Bee Mp3 is another one of those that copy the usability and interface of a search engine like Google but only let the user search for mp3 songs that can be downloaded from the web.

I don't want to discuss the legal questions that surely arise when downloading songs found using Bee Mp3. Depending on the country that you live in it could either be completely legal, semi-legal or illegal to use it to find and download mp3 songs.

Bee Mp3 lets you search by album, artist, song or everything. Depending on the search phrase you might very well end up with hundreds of search results. Below the search mask are listings of the World, US and Euro Top 10 and a cloud of the latest 200 searches.

A search or a click on a top 10 song or artist loads the search result page which displays file names, song names, the name of the album, artist and search tags. A click on the file or song name tries to load the mp3 song. The link is encrypted and becomes visible as soon as the new website loads.

I conducted some tests with the result that several results lead to websites that are not existent anymore, ran out of bandwidth or removed the song. Testing some results however always lead to one website that had the complete song which could be listened to and downloaded from that website.

Even not so well known artists like Bridge to Solace, Ignite and At The Gates are found by Bee Mp3. As you can see I love Hardcore and Metal but do listen to different genres as well.

Conclusion:

Bee Mp3 is an easy to use search engine that finds popular and not so popular songs, artists and albums. Most search results lead to the right result which can be listened to or downloaded. It can be seen as an advanced mp3 search similar to that of Google with the benefit of interlinking search results by using tags like album and artist names.

    The warning message about AAC streams when you load streams is because you don’t have the free Orban AAC/aacPlus Player Plugin installed.

      I’d say it supports all pls streams but I have not tried that so cannot verify it 100%.

    Thank you Martin for a most informative and viable solution (it allowed me to play streams from a Netherland internet radio station in my WMP)! Continued success to you!

    You must convert file.pls to file.m3u
    because file.pls open with winamp and file.m3u open with wmp.

    Hey, even i can do it, i stumbled through it and it works great! The only instruction advice i will add as i had to figure this out, when the wmp box opens that says save or open the bar on right says wmp click that drop down and select “open pls in wmp” once you do that it will work . Took me quite some time to discover that as i am no computer expert by any means. Having said that, previously i had downloaded codec packages and something about aac. None did any good. This rocks, i listen to a lot of internet radio and a number of them have dropped flash player and getting wmp to work had been a nightmare. So many thanks for this great solution to another problem that Micro-Hell will not even address. Peace- Out

    openplsinwmp came in a zip file. I unpacked it, and didn’t find anything that looks like an executable, and even the files in the “doc” folder were in a format windows didn’t recognize. I’m not stupid. you said it would open effortlessly. It didn’t. This a rabbit hole I don’t want to go down.
