Soundcloud.. in fact YT should learn from its stream interface for its subscriptions.. cease downloading vid when users presses pause. Maybe could be done with mashup.

#12Discovery:
* various BBC Radio stations (specficially, their specialist shows)
* Last.fm
* iTunes Genius Recommendations
Acquiring:
* iTunes
* Amazon
* Physical CDs
Managing:
* iTunes (purely because it keeps my files organised, and it's a better interface than Spotify / others in my opinion)

#15I tend to pay attention to labels and follow the ones I like through various sources (label website, Soundcloud). Labels curate content of similar themes / genres. Some examples: Ninja Tune, Warp, Brainfeeder, Matador.

I do this also, following a few labels I really like (Never Say Die, Dim Mak, OWSLA, Monstercat, RAM Records, etc). I follow quite a few artists on social media as well.
