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.

I love the Shazam app. I can snatch any song I hear anywhere to play at home. Sometimes I'll pick a single song to play on tidal and either roon or the tidal app, IDK  will just start loading similar music after my choice ends and I have history to look them up later. FM radio is still useful for new music and the college stations tend to dig a bit deeper than the corporate stations. Equipment reviews will occasionally drop a new one and very rarely shows like Axpona will play something original. I scan HiRez recordings on tidal to find stuff also. 

Local HiFi shops often have music playing I scoop also.
