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?

I usually get a bunch of cool stuff from the Quietus end-of-year list. It's a lot more varied than the lists of most other publications.

Besides that, mostly Rateyourmusic for sure, especially the "Let's all find the next gem of [current year]" forum threads. I also used to visit /mu/ for recommendations back in the day, but the culture there made me, uhh, reconsider my life choices.
