Radio, believe me or not. I try to fish on some indie radios. Also, through podcast or YT: I like when they tell you the story or meaning or help you understand in any way. It helps me enjoy music. Then is easy to pull the threat to jump from one artist to the next.

Then I buy CD on their official website, but don't really listen to them.

I probably obtain music in just about every conceivable way possible. Sometimes I'm listening on YouTube for city pop uploads, other times it's SoundCloud for weird obscure indie tracks. Sometimes I'll do some soul seeking to flesh out my local collection of FLACs for my iPod or Strawberry, or I'll pop into Bandcamp to find hidden gems. I also buy a fair bit of used vinyl from Discogs, and I'll occasionally hit up importCDs for the occasional budget-friendly Tatsuro Yamashita album. I even hunt around at local thrift stores to add to my cassette and CD collections, which have both grown to a fairly substantial size. Sometimes indie labels like Light in the Attic will get city pop reissues that aren't all that expensive, and I've bought a passable quality cassette from them before. I've been working on getting a thrown-together component Hi-fi setup from a bunch of thrift store scores, and it actually sounds and works quite well. I have a massive stack of portable CD players, and a trusty cassette walkman that has really decent W+F for what it is. Aside from MD (so far), I guess you could say I'm interested in diversifying my music-listening portfolio.

I like to discovery tunes through friends and suches, and services like TIDAL. I started collecting vinyl earlier this year and just playing an entire album front to back is amazing, takes me back. Also didn't realize how much I miss how "older" mixing used to sound ...more dynamic not all compressed into a brick. I really admire Vinyl for that. It's also fun to collect which doesn't hurt ... Thinking of working on my CD collection again. As for digital archival, I use FLAC for "backing up" my vinyl, and when aquiring new I like bandcamp or any service that offers FLAC in highres.

Apple music is my main, checking out their classical app currently as well. They've got a decent selection, I was a big fan of Google play music back when that was available.

For anything physical, I try to get on vinyl, but otherwise I rely on either Spotify for streaming or Soulseek for downloads/sharing. I’ve been meaning to set up a personal streaming server on Jellyfin but I’m way too lazy to convert a 4500+ song playlist into downloaded files.

Free spotify with ad blocking , newpipe mostly.

I use Spotify for its convenience and music discovery capabilities. If I particularly like an artist, I'll buy their stuff on vinyl (if available) or I'll buy some merch.

I also support my favourite artist directly on Patreon.

I'm mostly on Tidal. I like the higher quality and the increased pay-out options. If I really like the music, I'll either buy it on vinyl or Bandcamp, especially if it's a smaller artist
