How do you discover new music (beehaw.org)

I listen to music 3-6 hours a day and am the type of person who doesn't enjoy hearing the same song the same day or really the day after. Sites I've used for discovering new music were reddit and rateyourmusic.com.

Beyond that I do use Spotify song radios, but typically the song has to be far outside my standard genres to show me new music.

Whatdo others use to discover new music?

Once upon a time there was this beautiful music player called Songbird that aggegated music blogs and let you directly download MP3s. It was magical.

Now I use Soundcloud, which has been awesome for discovering new music.

Also, don't sleep on the Internet Archive. There is some awesome music hosted there, often in FLAC.
