The first Napster used to have a section "If You Like _____ then try _______, 
______, or _______."  And that turned me on to several artists.
And as far as finding new music goes, I do all of the above as well, but I 
can honestly say some artists I would have not found even through those outlets. 
 And sometimes, when using those sources, I've used filesharing to get a song 
or two in order to get a flavor of the band so I don't buy blind.
When buying a car, I'd talk to friends, read articles and then give it a test 
drive - that's what I've done with music.  I don't abuse it.
