i never got into steaming or stream-matching music programs like spotify.
i still listen to radio or radio show podcasts for most new stuff. i also get new music from bands i see live and discover similar bands from there. also sometimes friends will let me know whats hot.
Oh I thought the question was how do you discover NEW music? Anyway...
I still mainly listen to CDs at home and in the car. I listen to specific radio programs for new music. I listen to ripped music from my CDs on my phone when I'm on the go.
I used to have a ton of vinyl LPs but have only like 2 crates now. I'll buy vinyl if I think the band is really cool though. 8)
team spotify here! i used to flip flop between pandora & slacker radio, but once i discovered spotify there was no contest.
Do you record your streamed music for later? It's the same as recording music from your am/fm radio, just don't share it.
spotify lets you download it
Interesting option :shock: Is it available only for premium people like yourself or do we frugal people have this option as well?
And I just listen to CDs whenever possible, I have bought a few songs from iTunes and got some songs free from Amazon but 99.9% of my songs are ripped from CDs I own or borrowed.

I did a quick search, seems like you can only download with the premium, but it's only $10/month

At that cost you could have a harddrive full of music before the month is over and technically be legal
Until recently, I bought CDs and then ripped them to iTunes so I could play them on my iPod. More often nowadays I buy songs and sometimes entire albums from iTunes instead.
I PAY FOR my music. I have lectured my daughter over and over about STEALING music, but it does no good. Won't do any good here, either, I reckon....
Oh, and sometimes I listen to new things on Spotify before buying them.
