i think pandora is the best tool for finding artists in the precise styles you like; i've grown lukewarm on xm/sirius, which like any broad commercial enterprise requires wading through alot of chaff to get to the good stuff. public libraries, at least around here, are also veritable treasure troves of good music and are a no-cost, no-risk way to sample. among publications, i find myself typically agreeing with allmusic and big takeover and disagreeing with pitchfork.
What is your source for discovering new music?

I use Pandora primarily. Every now and then I get new discoveries on the internet jazz radio stations.
The local FM jazz station used to be my only source. I knew no other jazz fans personally. The SqueezeBox has opened up a whole new world for me.
