Doujin music sites and Youtube. Phoenix kappashiro, Elegant Sister and SkuddeOuo are good channels to find music on.

I've finished searching for new music. When I watch a new anime I'll get its OST, but that's it.

>but finding completely new stuff that appeals to you seems like an extremely tough endeavor.
probaly because there is so much
imagin if you could put all unique tracks in the world into a shuffle playlist, for how long would you need to press skip until you get something you like? What sometimes works is catching a good one in a game, or movie show whatever, and branching off of that.

>>107721I have no idea. It's just something I stopped using and maybe other people did it, too. I think other streaming methods like youtube's algorithm and autoplay might have replaced it for many people, but for me I never really made any conscious effort to stop and just stopped using it one day.
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pandora_(service)Looking at this wiki article on it, it seems like it's had mixed results with monetization and has traded hands a few times. I don't think it had ads when I listened to it, but I'm not entirely sure. (or maybe I had them blocked)

>>107599Same. I used to actively search for music but now it just feels like a waste of time especially since 99% of stuff I find is garbage. Now its mostly anime OPs or vidya osts. Every now and then youtube will rec me something nice though like this

These days it's really just via anime OPs and EDs, if I REALLY like a particular song I might branch into the artist's other works. Other than that, Denpa I discovered through 4/jp/'s threads a while ago, and anything else typically comes from r/a/dio, particularly during the new years streams.
I really lucked out when I discovered Ar Tonelico thanks to the streams, I got so obsessed with the music I even downloaded the games and and am currently finishing up the third one. I've basically listened to nothing except Ar Tonelico music for the past two months now.
https://youtu.be/QNKhFPeYNA8If you have time, listen to the first few songs. The music is so good that this three hour compilation doesn't even contain all of the music with vocals, and pretty much all of the vocal songs are god tier

Finally decided to invest into a spotify account and it's been pretty good at automatically generating playlists that contain songs I might like. Guess that's how people find new music these days.

For me, I use Spotify or Discogs.
If you have the name of the label for the songs you currently play, you can look it up to find every other release that's on that label.
For spotify users, you can type label:LabelName and find nearly every release for that label.
You also look up the label on Discogs and find releases there.

I barely find new music at all. It's not really a problem, since my music collection is actually of a fairly decent size. Sometimes I open the 4/a/ sound thread. There's a regular there who has a similar taste to mine.
Things like stumbling over Yuve Yuve Yu in the youtube recommendations does not really happen normally. It could be called a freak accident, that.

¥getting into genresVery easy. Just search for playlists of a certain genre you want to get into on youtube. Someone talked about vocaloid shoegaze some days ago and I could easily find a playlist with almost 300 songs just now.
¥finding individual songs within a genreThis is probably the best way to do it:
