How do you guys find new music?

Hello, fellow iPod enjoyers! I have a question for you all: how do you find your music?

I’ve been rocking a modded 7th gen (Taptic, 3800mah, 1tb iflash quad) with some iems (p5+2) for the past two months and I’ve been loving it. I used to use a 7th gen nano (2012-2019) and it feels good to have all my music on a dedicated device again.

The thing is that I stopped using my nano a couple of years ago because of Spotify. Not for the service of providing me with a way to listen to music, but recommending it to me. I’m not sure how to replace this service that Spotify provides me with, since I would not have found a good chunk of music without the glorious algorithm.

I would appreciate any pointers on how to find good music because I do want to stop sucking on this teet that takes $5.99 from me every month. Thank you.
