On a lark, I refunded up my phone with my mp3 library I keep on my laptop and I built up so many years ago. I enjoyed it just fine for the nostalgia but I still don't understand where I'm going to discover new music without services like Spotify. I used go to shows and see new artists that way, but with kids that's not as much a valid proposition as it once was.

Back when music blogs were exploding, it was a great way to discover new music. I'm not sure how many of those are still around, but hype machine has been out there for probably 20 years now and that was always a great way to just blow a few hours listening to all kinds of new stuff - https://hypem.com/latest/all

There's also local independent radio stations, many of which have streaming now.

WYCE is my personal favorite - https://grcmc.org/wyce

You can use services like listenbrainz or last.fm.

I go to Bandcamp once and month and just shoot down their rock artists sorted by "new"
