If you know what kind of music you like, i suggest you go to a tracker with "your" material, and stay away from What and Waffles and other if you are genuily intrested in exploring some new music. Be active in a forum, and download some discographies. The easiest way to find new music got to be through friends, hear a song at your friends, go home and download the enitre discograpy...

Get off the comp and just listen to what you just downloaded and enjoy :)

BTW if you like rap/hip-hop do NOT watch MTV. They will corrupt your mind.

Maybe they are better for other genres but for rap/hip-hop don't go there.

Myspace
try Sirius Radio, almost everyday you'll hear new single release
Sirius Faction 28 seems to be the best source for me, that is if you want to hear some new rock ???

Lastfm, myspace music, BT with OiNKplus entension and just click random albums to listen, friends, music blogs, itunes playlists/indie spotlight/imix/etc, amazon (lists/related artists), forums, soulseek forums, (internet) radio

Then just listen to the music in movies and tv shows. I find tons of music that way.

How do I find new music?

http://en.wikipedia.org

While reading about some of my favorite bands, many articles tie in influences or bands which are similar, leading to a giant web of related bands. It's great.

I usually find new music through last.fm, music tracker forums, 0day trackers torrents, friends, or erm, social networking groups, music communities.. and I also try to browse people's music recs. :D

last.fm has been a great source for finding new music, 'left of center' on sirius radio is nice too :)

Arg I can't stand listening to the radio. I have to listen to this radio station at work which keeps going on about how it plays 'more music variety' than everyone else. It plays exactly the same songs every damn night and it drives me insane. I think it's better to go out and find music yourself rather than waiting for the radio to play something you like

Well, various forums and websites usually help, but I don't really listen to new music, unless it's from an old band or such.

Friends can sometimes help, but it's usually something i've already heard.

I'd reccommend searching for decent forums/websites for your new music though. :)
