I have a large list on bandcamp that I follow to try and stay up with as many releases as I can, also following relevant genre "tags" on there to get recommendations from artists I may not know about. The genre tags can be hit and miss though due to artists often being unable to tag their work properly.

I'll also listen to shows on SoundCloud and will search out tracks and new artists I hear on there. I'll also occasionally check the Juno charts if I have run out of new music to listen to and in the last year started building up a follow list on Spotify to check new releases there that I may have missed from all the other avenues.

It's a shame Bandcamp killed RSS

Despite being aware of it for a quarter of a century I have never used RSS although I probably should.

Bandcamp is slowly getting worse but depending on your core genre interests for me it is still by far the best choice.

RSS is so handy, it's a shame it's not as supported as it used to be. I used to read a ton of webcomics, not all of them with consistent release schedules, some of them on social media sites I don't use much, and RSS was how I kept track of them all.

Bandcamp's the best of a bad lot: no DRM is a big deal. When they had RSS they were nearly perfect.

Pretty much. They still run bandcamp Friday too when the artists get all the money for sales so I generally stack up my wishlist and try to make my purchases on that one Friday a month.

I've been paying for a Pandora subscription for about a decade. Worth it. (Piracy is a service problem.)

Their recommendations for similar bands, auto play, and making stations from a band or song has let me discover so much music over the years.

Piracy isn't a problem.

I follow a bunch of hash tags on Mastodon.

[-] MelonYellow@lemmy.ca 3 points 2 days ago

A simple combination of Spotify, searching for recommendations, as in "artists similar to _____," checking out AllMusic for a brief overview and maybe which album to start with.

[-] angelmountain@feddit.nl 3 points 2 days ago

Sorry, but Spotify Discover Weekly of course.

And I also always have Shazam ready to go for when out and about.

[-] Alice@beehaw.org 3 points 2 days ago

I don't use Spotify anymore, but I miss Discover Weekly. When it missed, it really missed, but I still found a lot of artists through it.

[-] gjoel@programming.dev 2 points 2 days ago

Spotify daylist (search for it). Better than discover weekly imo, and changes multiple times during the day.

Formerly through TikTok and YouTube, but now only SoundCloud (especially through Daily drops) and Bandcamp.

[-] Vanth@reddthat.com 2 points 2 days ago

I subscribe to the digital stream of radio stations through my podcast app. WFUV out of New York City, WXRV out of I don't know where, some random station out of Sydney, Australia I stumbled on that has an EDM DJ on at the same time I'm waking up on the weekends.

I also have Spotify, but I tend to get better recommendations from real human DJs at radio stations.

At the moment? Watching Anime. A few years ago? Watch music videos of songs I already know on youtube and see what the algorithm spits out.

[-] the_radness@lemmy.world 1 points 2 days ago

I suppose it depends on your tastes, but I read Pitchfork reviews and check out the artits on Spotify. I do not limit my tastes to one genre, so that makes it more interesting when exploring. I'll also leverage the Related Artists section of an artist's page if I find a new artist that I like.

Youtube nprs tiny desk concert. Got so many banger musicians and GREAT music.

[-] RBWells@lemmy.world 1 points 2 days ago

Community radio, my kids (and they find music through me too), YouTube music recommendations, opening bands at concerts, and sometimes NPR.

[-] HipsterTenZero@dormi.zone 1 points 2 days ago

Theuppermostinlife curates a bunch of music they like, and I share some of their taste so that's where I get a bunch of new stuff from.

Mostly through movies/tv shows or sometimes NPR Tiny Desk

[-] Pooptimist@lemmy.world 1 points 2 days ago

A friend recommended pitchfork yesterday to me. Haven't gotten around to it though

[-] grrgyle@slrpnk.net 1 points 2 days ago

Bandcamp follows and whatever is playing on CBC music.

[-] pirtedad@lemm.ee 1 points 2 days ago

I used to use r/listentothis, haven't in a long time though, not even out of "fuck you reddit" just busy I think.
