    I have a large list on bandcamp that I follow to try and stay up with as many releases as I can, also following relevant genre “tags” on there to get recommendations from artists I may not know about. The genre tags can be hit and miss though due to artists often being unable to tag their work properly.

    I’ll also listen to shows on SoundCloud and will search out tracks and new artists I hear on there. I’ll also occasionally check the Juno charts if I have run out of new music to listen to and in the last year started building up a follow list on Spotify to check new releases there that I may have missed from all the other avenues.

        Despite being aware of it for a quarter of a century I have never used RSS although I probably should.

        Bandcamp is slowly getting worse but depending on your core genre interests for me it is still by far the best choice.

          Bandcamp’s the best of a bad lot: no DRM is a big deal. When they had RSS they were nearly perfect.

            Pretty much. They still run bandcamp Friday too when the artists get all the money for sales so I generally stack up my wishlist and try to make my purchases on that one Friday a month.
