But the thing is, these are only the ways to “obtain” your music. Where do you actually find music that is worth keeping? Here are some ideas:

Listen to the radio. Not any of the stations that play music in the Top 40. Instead, check retro stations playing songs that didn’t hit the big scene. Sometimes, these can be the best songs of all.

Another way to find music that might not occur to most people is to find out the favorite artists of the artists you already listen to. Use the Internet to find bios of the musicians you like, and find out which bands they enjoy listening to. Chances are, if you like their music, you’ll like music that they like as well.

Enjoy your new music collection! But before you start, make sure you have the right reason in mind about music. Music is for personal enjoyment. Not to beat someone else’s track count. Keep in mind this motto. “Killer not Filler”. Enjoy!
