Audio Search Engine
The site indexes external websites (like Google) such as blogs and personal pages, then finds links to media from these sites and gives the users searching links to these external files. In a nutshell, the site supplies media links to searchers.

Looks really great, it's also an original and interesting idea.
The design is simple and attractive i haven't got any suggestions about it other than to make the logo bigger or maybe make a new better one. A unique simple logo will help the branding process.
When you search for something that does not produce any results an error is returned.
Why limit the results to 20 instead of making pagination links?
The text formatting for the results could be improved, for example bolden the number, or make the artist name one color and the song name another one.
Maybe including a footer with copyright and contact info would be a good idea.
You could make the script detect the file type (extention) and display it near the result, (mp3, midi, wmv, etc) or get the filesize if possible and display that too.
Align the ad in the left to the top.
If possible remove tables and use divs and css instead.
Great site, bookmarked.

I entered "Metallica" and got links to mp3's and videos. Copyright violation? I would strongly consider a legal disclaimer.

The site only displays links, it doesn't store the files.
If you search for cracks in google you'll get links to cracks.

The design is simple but looks good.
I suggest that when you click on the text bar that says "artist and title", the text that the user types should replace the "artist and title".
I did a search and couldn't download or preview any of the files.

I would definately change the orange color at the top if I were you because I have noticed that a lot of ad sense cookie cutter assembly line type websites use that color in their header as well, and you do not want to be associated with them, you want to be more more unique than that. Also the homepage looks just a little plain, which is o.k. for asearch engine, as long as it is distinctive (Google is plain, but it is distinctive). I hope that helps.

I really like the site. The colours are nice, easy on the eyes and the ads are well-placed. Is everything legal though? YouTube isn't completely legal but they have the money to back it up, y'know.

I forgot to mention the legal perspective on my critique of the site....I would certainly check on that as well.
