Same as GP. It takes times. Unless it’s party mode, I only listen to albums. To find new music, it takes time mostly. I decide to listen to a new genre and I seek a playlist or a compilation curated by someone. If I find someone I like, I check their albums. I also checkout the recommendations on bandcamp (people vote with their wallet there). Then there are forums and polls, and I may decide to try something out of the blue.

The more you curate, the more you define your own taste. It’s then easier to describe what you like in a music and triage.
