I listen to music 3-6 hours a day and am the type of person who doesn't enjoy hearing the same song the same day or really the day after. Sites I've used for discovering new music were reddit and rateyourmusic.com.

Beyond that I do use Spotify song radios, but typically the song has to be far outside my standard genres to show me new music.

Whatdo others use to discover new music?

Spotify's discovery algorithm is great. Outside of that I routinely check Pitchfork for new albums. theneedledrop makes good recs too and Any Decent Music is a pretty decent music review aggregator similar to Metacritic but for more niche styles.

These days I listen to a lot of dance music though, so I tend to discover music via DJ mixes and Bandcamp.
