spidering and indexing only media files

jason207 · 02-21-2005, 02:13 PM

is it possible to just spider and index media files such as .qcp, mp3, rm, asf etc??

it would be great if it would only return the direct file link in the serp...but as long as it would just bring up the page with the links on it, when relevent to the name of the file
ie a search for "dive bar" would just bring up just songs with "dive bar" in its title (or bar or dive) but not bring up pages that are about dive bars?

its for a local music site with many artists, and we want to be able to give users search access for all artists music, without having to host all the files ourselves,
basically we want to send the spider out to each site and it returns the music and video links for the artist and thats it...that way users can search and download from the whole scene from one page, and each band would then be responsible for bandwith costs etc. for their own music....

any help or ideas would be welcome and very much appreciated, thanks
