Your method for discovering great music.

I'm in a slump. It has been a while since I've discovered new music that I really like. And when I say "new" I mean new to me. Maybe even rediscovered would count as new.

I do not have a method. I usually stumble into new music that I like. I also don't have loads of hours to sort through tons of stuff I don't like. Plus I find that random sort of pursuit to be frustrating and unrewarding most of the time.

Amazon Music had half decent 'recommended for you' lists but I don't recall if that ever paid off. I use Qobuz now which sucks in that particular department.

I've found a few bands that I like from recommendations here at Audiogon but I have not been here much lately.

So I'm curious as to how some of you approach that search for great music that is either actually new, new to you or rediscovered.

Amazon search,…..complete box search, or those great 5 cd sets for 10-13$

original album classics.

 

 If price is right, I will buy,

 

  I’m a diehard metalhead, but some of these odd band sets are too good to pass. 
 

 If it looks good buy it.

expanded the library quite a bunch past few years. 
 

  Too many to list

Roon suggests different artists based on what one is listening to and the radio feature plays tracks based in the sound profiles you like.   I use Qobuz so my discoveries are almost unlimited.  Unfortunately Roon is subject  to problems and becomes a “self help” paid for service.   If you are a network engineer or love digging through their forum for answers more power to you.

i just want to play and discover music.   Roon has been down for me over a week and after posting my issue (more like their issue that’s affecting me) I got 1 reply from Roon and after posting almost immediately my reply no further help has been given !!!

Roon is absolute reference for discovery. Between the graphics and suggested artists and Roon radio you will discover endless new artists, genres, sub genres unknown releases by familiar artists. Right now is golden age of audio, no more excuses for not being able to discover new music and artists.
