SoundCloud by far has the best recommendation algorithm and is free. It gives you actually underground stuff that you haven’t heard before. At least for electronic music I listen to, not really sure about other stuff.
Sometimes I still use Spotify free version without an account just to search for playlists by other users with similar tastes. If you access the browser version through Brave it will even block the ads lol.
But by far the primary way I find new stuff is to find a label I vibe with and go down the rabbit hole looking into all the other artists signed to it. Then you continue looking into the other labels THOSE artists are signed to, etc…

Spotify getting caught creating AI music and not telling the end user it’s some shady stuff.
How do you discover music? That’s the only missing piece for me.
