Discovering New Music?

captainclever asks: "As an avid music fan, I'm keen on discovering new artists that I will like. I have discovered a few by listening to internet radio, and writing down the names of songs that take my fancy. I had a play with The Digital Music Network, but it was very intrusive, full of adverts and only worked in Windows. I found it quite a hard topic to google for as there is so much stuff about music. Has anyone come accoss a decent system that can suggest some good artists to me based on my existing listening habbits?" Word of mouth, of course, is the tried and true method of promoting a new group. Are there weblogs that allow users to discuss music much like Slashdot discusses "news"?

News?

You mean a weblog with lots of duplicate entries about last year's music?

Napster

I like this program called Napster, since using it I bought a ton more CDs, and you can see what other people have in their collections... it's truely the future of music, the artist must love it, it's been boosting the hell out of their sales.

Of course, it's been a while since I used it, so your experience may vary.
