I make my own playlists based on checking out similar artists using Google searches of "artists like x" format and listen pretty much exclusively through those playlist as a quick collection of songs that I like, the playlists range from 2-50 hours and are either based on mood, genre or personal life events, they are ordered to preserve both the order in which I discovered the music but also so that they flow well from one song to another.
I only ever really listen on single song repeat mode, when I'm bored of the song I pick out another one, but I'll listen to the playlist as a whole to make sure it flows right.
I have a large offline collection but I've been mostly using Spotify Premium these past 6 years, the recommendations it gives at the bottom of playlists are sometimes also utilized.
I mostly listen to music at my desk on my desktop through my Beyer DT1990 with an EQ for flat frequency response or my nice wired T2 IEMs through my phone.
Sometimes I'll check out something on SoundCloud or Spotify suggestions when I post my own music to both to see what's considered related out of curiousity but it's mostly garbage, my own music included, though sometimes I stumble on something interesting from an artist who's main similarity is <10 monthly listeners.
I feel like apart from my S.O. in some aspects, I've never met anyone who interacts with music in this way, people maybe make a workout playlist at most or listen to other people's or listen only to albums haha ๐
