Virtual crate digging on Discogs.com is still by far the best way to discover music. Artists, record labels, producers, technicians (mastering, vinyl cutting), distribution channels, etc. are all there just a click away. Who did/does you favourite artist share a label with? Who else used the same recording studio? What other aliases does an artist use? What other bands/groups have they been in? Combined with the embedded YouTube player on the release page it's a gold mine. Every week I'll spend hours down the Discogs rabbit hole - often adding missing YouTube videos to contribute something for future visitors.
