Listen: FLAC files on my android phone using Foobar2000. Or for serious listening, FLAC files on an Astell & Kern with nice headphones.

Discover: Friends, family, Bandcamp. Bandcamp is great because the bands have the option to recommend their own favourites, and if they don't, Bandcamp does the "other supporters of this band listen to this" thing. Bandcamp collections are public, so find out who paid money for an album you like and see what else they bought.

And now for the weird one: Goodwill. Not just browsing used CDs for treasures, but listen to their overhead music (especially around Halloween). There's a surprisingly good mix of random stuff playing. I've Shazam-ed more music there than anywhere else.
