I would add:
- Radio stations, especially triple j [1] and SomaFM [2]
- Hype Machine [3] with Plug (macOS) [4]
- Similar artists (e.g. on Last.fm [5])
- Other artists on the same label (e.g. Ghostly [6])
- Wander through a record store
- Search for one of your favourite songs and see what other user's playlists it's on
- YouTube chanels (e.g. David Dean Burkhart [7])
- Bandcamp—just wander around, and also check out their blog posts [8]
- Side-projects of members of bands that you like

- kfarr 7y ago+1 for Hype Machine!!!
- 0xdeadb00f 7y agoAs a listener of Triple J's actual radio content; I think it's become stale and more "mainstream" in recent years however their online stuff: Unearthed, and Double J are great.
- dorian-graph 7y agoI definitely agree. Unearthed is killer for good quality, unknown music.
- paranoidrobot 7y agoTriple J's Like a Version program/segment is also good for discovering new artists/songs. Live performances of one or two songs, with a cover[1] NPR Tiny Desk Concert[2], BBC Radio 1 Live Lounge[3], KEXP[4] and Mahogany Sessions[5] are also good for similar reasons.

- aloukissas 7y agoKEXP is the best radio station in the US. Jason's departure from the am show is a big loss, but it still kicks ass. Also, a great part of the LA community, year-round.
- andai 7y agoSeconding SomaFM! I especially like the DEF CON Radio. I've found some great underground stuff there. (The Music Director is very responsive, asked about an obscure track recently :) https://somafm.com/player/#/now-playing/defcon https://somafm.com/player/#/now-playing/defcon
- voltagex_ 7y agoAlso note that if you're in Australia with DVB-T reception, Double J and Triple J are on the ABC transponder at ~256kbit MP2 which is the highest quality stream you'll get. (ABC tech, please provide 320kbit AAC, please?)
- Polylactic_acid 7y agoOpus would be a better tech to pick.
- voltagex_ 7y agoIt would be, but ABC are (IMO) optimising for hardware decoders in various things.
- cm2187 7y agoIn the old days there was a service offered to radio stations, they were sending them regularly large curated compilations CDs of the latest potential hits. You could find these CDs on torrent websites and usenet. There must be something similar today.
- ta999999171 7y agoThere is - Google/YT promotes Lil Yachty on the frontpage and takes him from xxxK views to a million at a whim.
- rchaud 7y agoPlus music magazines (remember those?) would come with a free CD compilation of new tracks by artists featured in the issue.
- IanSanders 7y agoI miss last.fm. Such a shame what has been done to it
