Listen? Stream my own collection from media server.

Discover? I asked friends and relatives to send me mix CDs instead of presents. I listen to broadcast radio when I rent a car and sometimes at home; Chirp, the Chicago Independent Radio Project is especially nice because they don't have ads and DO have personality. Every so often I punch a few songs into a new Pandora station and spin the wheel. I snoop my kid's Spotify account to make sure that what they're listening to is appropriate (has to have a little talk when I found some ICP about misogyny, for example) and to their mortification shamelessly take whatever I like.

I have a Spotify playlist consisting of songs to download and add to the media server; that represents my "new music" since I paused buying it during the pandemic belt-tightening. It's over two days long. But with Google Play Music dead, I don't even know where to buy MP3s these days.
