It's one of those things that takes effort. When I was younger I had a constant stream of gigs and recommendations from friends, but that's faded away as we all got older. It felt easier, but that was mainly due to it being a collective effort You've said you're against streaming, but you could just use it as a way to find new music before buying the physical albums. I use the radio feature in Spotify all the time and often end up finding new music through it - you basically pick an artist or song you like and it makes you a playlist of similar music. You do need to change the radio start point occasionally if the algorithm starts getting repetitive, but it works well enough
