Step 1: Use web music recommendation services
- Web sites like Pandora, Last.fm, iLike and SeeqPod will recommend music based on music you like. Each service has somewhat different recommendations, so by using all four, you can get a wide range of suggestions.
Step 2: Ask your friends
- Your friends probably share some of your taste. Tell them a little bit about what you like, and they may be able to suggest new bands you'd enjoy.
Step 3: Listen to music samples on the Web or iTunes
- In addition to the sites in Step 1, you can listen to samples of music on the web at sites like Amazon.com, eMusic and MySpace, as well as on the music software iTunes.
Step 4: Listen to podcasts of the genre you're interested in
- Some music fans put together podcasts of music they like and distribute them via the Internet. By listening to these podcasts, you can find new music you haven't yet discovered. Directories like Podcast Pickle have information on podcasts. You can also find podcasts through iTunes.
Step 5: Listen to the radio
- With so many new technologies available, many people have forgotten one of the simplest methods of discovering new music: listen to the radio!
1. Turn on the radio.
2. Tune to a station that interests you.
3. Change station as necessary.
