You can&#8217;t just stop at some point in your life and decide you don&#8217;t want to listen to anything new. One thing I like about Pandora is that I can give it a specific genre or artist, and they&#8217;ll help me discover other artists that may be similar. I got an email from TJ recently who shared with us his top 5 list of ways to discover new music.</p><ul><li>Find out who your favorite artists consider to be their inspirations. Chances are, you&#8217;re going to enjoy listening to them, as well. It&#8217;s easy to go online and find a biography of musicians you like. Those will usually include a list of names of the people who inspired them.</li><li>Listen to a lot of music on the radio, last.fm, or any other service. I can&#8217;t tell you how many times I&#8217;ve heard a song on the radio that I liked, and wrote it down quickly to find later and purchase for my own collection. I tend to turn the radio to stations I might not normally listen to. That helps me broaden my scope, and allows me to find music I love that I might otherwise never have heard.</li><li>Get out and listen to local musicians. We musicians love all the followers we can get. Getting out and hearing them is always fun, and they love your support!</li><li>Join music-related forums. You&#8217;ll be exposed to so many different types of music that you may not have even heard of! Read what others are saying. If they&#8217;re raving about a new artist or song &#8211; check it out for yourself!</li><li>Trade music with others. I remember when I used to trade CDs with a good friend of mine. Just that summer alone, I was able to discover a ton of new things that I hadn&#8217;t heard before. I went from having only about 100 songs in my collection to more than 5000.</li></ul><p>This same thing happened to me back in college. I traded CDs with a friend of mine. The name of a particular band was strange, but I gave it a chance. Turns out, I loved their music! By sharing the cassette tape with my friend, it turned me on to a whole new style of music&#8230; which turned into sales for the artist.</p><p>I want to consume music as I want to consume it. I&#8217;d rather &#8220;rent&#8221; the music, instead of owning it. That&#8217;s why I subscribe to Rhapsody&#8217;s service. I can pull up and listen to whatever I want, when I want it.</p><p>So my question again is &#8220;how do you discover new music&#8221;?</p><p><ul><li

href="http://chris.pirillo.com">Chris Pirillo</a></p><p>I love listening to a wide variety of music. When I&#8217;m working, I will often have music playing, which can be heard over my stream. People send me emails all the time with recommendations of different music, songs and artists I should check out. I always take the time to do so, since you never know what I might find that I enjoy and would have never heard of otherwise. I tend to discover my music this way. I had to ask my friends how they <a

I  don&#8217;t use radio anymore, and I haven&#8217;t had cable in years so no MTV or VH1. I&#8217;ve recently discovered Pandora, quite happy with it. &#8211; <a

class="friend-comment"><p> I&#8217;m a bit of a new-music freak and take a lot of time out to find new music.  I don&#8217;t ell se last.fm but I am hooked up on the site.  While Pandora was available in the UK that was by far the best way I found new music.  Since then I browse my iLike Activity page weekly, as well as check my iTunes weekly mail of new tunes from my favourite bands.  I also check BBC Radio 1&#8217;s and xfm&#8217;s playlists and isten to the hottest tracks from <a
href="http://sixtyone.com" title="http://sixtyone.com" target="_blank">sixtyone.com</a>.  Lastly I check the music page on MySpace nd anything the London Timeout lists in its weekly magazine.  For my type of music I listen to Zane Loe on Radio 1 A LOT!  Huw Stephens and the In New Music We Trust programmes are very good too.  I&#8217;m a member of Blip.fm and several others but they don&#8217;t seem to give me good results. &#8211; <a

href="http://chris.pirillo.com">Chris Pirillo</a></p><p>I love listening to a wide variety of music. When I&#8217;m working, I will often have music playing, which can be heard over my stream. People send me emails all the time with recommendations of different music, songs and artists I should check out. I always take the time to do so, since you never know what I might find that I enjoy and would have never heard of otherwise. I tend to discover my music this way. I had to ask my friends how they <a
href="http://friendfeed.com/e/5def28f0-8ddb-4d80-9cc7-6dcebb4b39bb/How-Do-You-Discover-New-Music-http-xrl-us/">discover their new tunes</a>.</p><p> I&#8217;ve had this dilemma until recently. I  don&#8217;t use radio anymore, and I haven&#8217;t had cable in years so no MTV or VH1. I&#8217;ve recently discovered Pandora, quite happy with it. &#8211; <a

class="friend-comment"><p> I&#8217;m a bit of a new-music freak and take a lot of time out to find new music.  I don&#8217;t ell se last.fm but I am hooked up on the site.  While Pandora was available in the UK that was by far the best way I found new music.  Since then I browse my iLike Activity page weekly, as well as check my iTunes weekly mail of new tunes from my favourite bands.  I also check BBC Radio 1&#8217;s and xfm&#8217;s playlists and isten to the hottest tracks from <a
href="http://sixtyone.com" title="http://sixtyone.com" target="_blank">sixtyone.com</a>.  Lastly I check the music page on MySpace nd anything the London Timeout lists in its weekly magazine.  For my type of music I listen to Zane Loe on Radio 1 A LOT!  Huw Stephens and the In New Music We Trust programmes are very good too.  I&#8217;m a member of Blip.fm and several others but they don&#8217;t seem to give me good results. &#8211; <a

class="friend-comment"><p> Oh and once I do find a new band I hck them out on Amazon and AllMusic and seek out the similar artists/Albums they list.  ALso, Radio 1 has lots of podcasts to listen to. &#8211; <a
