I listen to online radio. It has all of my genres there.

Last.fm has been helping a lot, as well.

Most of my music comes from a music sharing group I belong to, every day or two I get a new album sent to my e-mail inbox, it's a pretty easy way of finding new music. As far as absolute new music (i.e. music not from other people) I use last.fm to find new artists, then usually a blog that has the album uploaded so I can download it and listen to it. I have been thinking about doing an experiment in the future where I do nothing but listen to the radio for a full 24 hours.

That's where I go for new music. I really don't know another way to find it. The radio never plays new stuff, I don't have sattelite radio, pandora is nice for background music but it's cumbersome to look and see who sings every song that comes up. Most people I know don't know a lot of music - they might be able to name Metallica or AC/DC, lol, but that doesn't help me.

pandora.com, it's an online radio station (only available in the US, though) where you enter in an artist as the station's seed, and then it will play you music that is similar to that artist. eg, you could put in "Three Days Grace" as the seed and it would play songs by 3DG, Chevelle, Staind, Nickelback, Breaking Benjamin, etc.

That sounds interesting.

While cleaning the house yesterday i had the radio on downstairs throughout the day on XFM (my first foray into radio for nearly 6 years) and it was distinctly average. I swear i heard the new Linkin Park song 3 times, lazy playlisting!

Literally the only reason I listen to the radio these days is to keep up with the football on BBC Radio 5 and hear Alan Green dig himself deeper holes among varying circles of fans with every broadcast. Haven't listened to it for musical purposes since I was taking a taxi in and out of school a good 6 or 7 years ago. And that wasn't exactly by choice either.
