As with most online search engines you can use similar methods to drill down and find what you really want.

Try this. I want to find tracks by Babyshambles from 2005-2007 that are not live track. I would use this search term

artist:babyshambles year:2005-2007 -track:live -album:live

If i wanted to find all house tracks I would search

genre:house

possibilities for genre are listed below

Alternative, Blues, Country, Disco, Funk, “Hard Rock”, “Heavy Metal”, Hip-Hop, House, Jazz, “New Wave”, R&B, Pop, Punk, Reggae, Rock, Soul,Techno

If you want resuts for 2 artists

artist:”Flight of the Conchords” OR artist:”The Lonely Island”

To summarise you can search for

• artist:
• track:
• album:
• year:
• genre:

You may need to use “” around phrases like “The Stone Roses”

And you can use the operators

• - minus
• OR
