search documents in powershell

if you want to do the easy way that only runs the next line in the powershell terminal

Get-Childitem -Path C:\, D:\, I:\ -Include "*.mp3" -Recurse -ErrorAction SilentlyContinue

the advanced way is the next script that runs in powershell ise or a .ps1 file in the terminal

#works but isnt organizated

#Get-Childitem -Path C:\, D:\, I:\ -Include "*.mp3" -Recurse -ErrorAction SilentlyContinue | Select -Expand Fullname

#Get-Childitem -Path C:\, D:\, I:\ -Include "*.mp3" -Recurse -ErrorAction SilentlyContinue| Select-Object -Property Name,Space

#to get properties of a file
