Finding Music Sites to Find Music

Most avid music collectors are akin to the hunter and gatherers of old. They seek out their prey and collect as much as possible. Similar to the H&G population scouring the landscape for sustenance, digital music collectors troll the the internet for new music.

Collecting music in the digital age is becoming easier and easier. First came iTunes, then came Myspace, then came Pandora in the baby carriage. The first two services are mammoth in the amount of music they contain. So much so that they are often a wash with music your parents would be embarrassed to own. True music fans have to wade through mountains of top 40, smaltzy, soulless music before they can get to the ones they want. And what do TV shows, games, and movies have to do with Tunes? The Users Also Bought and just for you features sound like ideal means of cutting through the music clutter. Why bother? The digital record crate digger, who was the early adopter instrumental in bringing digital music to the forefront, has been forced from the iTunes landscape. The precious kill the music fan so covets has moved on as well.

Their are some new tools that aid in the hunt. MOG, FineTune, Pandora, purevolume, and more that I am unaware of, are valuable resources in the fight. I have them listed in order of preference. With the help of these sites you can once again display your rare tunes like the trophies they are.
