I love finding things through Pandora, but I think the ultimate future is for niche labels to pop up.

i read 2-3 different magazines and check out the cds they list on amazon, and listen to all the free podcasts on itunes in blues, jazz and rockabilly whatever. at 57 they are not playing the must i grew up with on the radio except oldies stations, which is the same tired playlist. you have to dig a little deeper,i don't expect they would be focus on the middle aged music freak at this point.

I listen a lot to XM (on DirecTV) and local radio off air. We have a fantastic independent record store here in upstate SC, so when I hear a song on the radio that I like I just go over there and buy it (it may cost a little more than download but its worth it to support these local guys).

I walk into a shop that has something playing as background music, hear something that attracts my attention and ask what it is. I write it down and download the song to see if it's something I really like. If I like it, I go and see if it's available on LP. Otherwise I go seek out the CD.

About The Audiophiliac

Ex movie theater projectionist Steve Guttenberg has more or less successfully hitched his future to home theater, but he still pines for the clickity-clack of 35 MM projectors and all the stale popcorn he could eat. Between projectionist gigs he worked as a high-end audio salesman for sixteen years, and produced records for an audiophile label. Oh, and one more thing, nothing annoys Steve more than being confused with the other Steve Guttenberg, the washed-up Police Academy actor. The wordsmith Guttenberg is a frequent contributor to a number of magazines and websites including Home Entertainment, Playback, and Ultimate AV. He is a member of the CNET Blog Network and is not an employee of CNET. Disclosure.
