#92> Let’s start with the easy one, newly released music This kind of tedious labor isn't what comes to mind when I hear "easy" in HN-linked article. And really, what I am trying to achieve doesn't sound complicated at all: I don't even want to be notified in advance, just being told about new release even with a week delay would be fine. Yet I didn't find any efficient way to achieve it! There must be like 200 artists…

#93Earlier quoted context omitted.
But YouTube's quality is such hot garbage, and the ads, oh, God, the ads. Nothing ruins the experience of a perfectly good album like Miles Davis' 'Kind of Blue' more than a jump from cool jazz to an ad for Grammarly that's a full 5-10db louder than what I was listening to. If YouTube's audio quality was worth listening to, YouTube Premium might be a thing, but Spotify and Apple Music have it down to a science, and,…
I just use youtube-dl[1] and never see a single ad. Also, downloading videos with youtube-dl lets me archive them for myself, which is useful insurance against when (as all too often happens) the video gets pulled from youtube for some reason. As for quality, this thread is about discovery, where quality shouldn't really matter. But if quality matters a lot to you, after you discover some music that you like, you can…
Just finished doing this with an artist I found with music-map farther up the thread.

#94I would add: - Radio stations, especially triple j [1] and SomaFM [2] - Hype Machine [3] with Plug (macOS) [4] - Similar artists (e.g. on Last.fm [5]) - Other artists on the same label (e.g. Ghostly [6]) - Wander through a record store - Search for one of your favourite songs and see what other user's playlists it's on - YouTube chanels (e.g. David Dean Burkhart [7]) - Bandcamp—just wander around, and also check out…
+1 for Hype Machine!!!

#95How to find new music:
1. Track listening on last.fm (or similar social equivalent)
2. Find people who like similar things.
3. See what they listen to
4. Profit.
Re: How to Find New Music
#96This is a terrible guide that ignores the best algorithmic recommendations that spotify provides, the "Related Artist" feature from the artist page. If you are a life long music explorer, why didn't you mention the last.fm Similar Artist feature? Concert reminder services like songkick are great for learning which bands are touring with your favorite artists, too, in addition to suggesting artists based on your curre…
I agree. The post is _very_ low effort, but at least the discussion here has been somewhat interesting. I've picked up a few new sources.

Wow, thanks, that seems to be it! Edit: doesn't seem to be actually maintained, though. Very noticeable and quite easy to fix bugs as old as 2017 still persist. But I'll surely try it anyway.
Re: How to Find New Music
#98I really wish Apple Music just had a list (station? Whatever) I could listen to that showed me music I’m likely to enjoy based on the thousands of songs I have ‘liked’ in my library. I was disappointed to find that didn’t exist when I signed up. It’s what I was looming forward to the most.
It does. Go to the "For You" tab, and pick "New Music Mix"
I don't understand why this algorithmic playlist gets such a bad rap. On any given week, I've only heard about about 15% of the artists on the list at most; I usually find 2-3 new artists whose catalog I want to sample, one or two tracks from artists I already like but have new albums I didn't know about, everything else maybe not a keeper but definitely listenable.
… new Black Lips, Wire and Rubber Band Gun this week, cool!
Re: How to Find New Music
#99I checkout playlists of artists I like and go down that rabbit hole. I never have gotten stuck in a genre. Quite diverse.

#100Personally, I've found a lot of great music from https://www.youtube.com/user/theneedledrop
Approximately 30% of his likes are IMO absolute unlistenable shit, 60% is just pretty good, but the last 10% is pure damn gold that I usually would not have heard of otherwise.
