What do you do when you're bored of your music collection?

<p>I'm bored of it. Even with shuffle and stuff. Also, there are some music tracks I don't want to listen for too long because I want them to be mentally associated with a part of my life. </p>

<p>So what do you do? Do you borrow a friend's external HD and transfer his/her huge music collection to your drive?</p>

<p>Cut off one of my fingers.</p>

<p>That’s one option. Or you can find some new music to download yourself. I’m doing that now. :smiley: It’s not that I’m bored of my music, I just need more variety. -_-
You just need to search a little…</p>

<p>How about you download a bunch of music you wouldn’t normally listen to? But first and foremost, especially in your situation, delete every last song on your HD.</p>

<p>I don’t get tired of my music collection… We have some 5000 songs.</p>

<p>Well, I usually look for a musician’s friends or family members that are also artists. For example, through Team Starkid, I discovered My Dear Disco and Darren Criss, and through Darren Criss I fell in love with Freelance Whales and Charlene Kaye. Not that I’ve ever been bored by Team Starkid’s music, but you know what I mean. Broaden your horizon…</p>

<p>I don’t listen to my ipod ever. In fact, I left it at school during my current month long break. I really only listen to music when at the computer or in the car. </p>

<p>I search the internet and add any song I like to playlist.com. I get a lot of the songs I find from Pandora, or lists of songs from a particular genre or time period.</p>

<p>Yeah Pandora’s good, so is last.fm’s similar artists page.</p>

<p>Grooveshark</p>

<p>go make music with ur mouth.</p>

<p>I usually get my music from /mu/ sharethreads…yes…I know…4chan…but /mu/ has some really interesting music, for example, I wouldn’t have discovered fun., The Daysleepers, Agalloch, and Crippled Black Phoenix without it. Not only that, but I would’ve remained completely ignorant about entire genres, like post-rock and dream pop and freak folk. If you’re willing enough to take a bit of a leap, I’d recommend going on /mu/. Ignore all other threads (because 4chan) and focus on sharethreads. </p>

<p>Pandora and last.fm recommendations are great as well for finding music that you’ll like, so yeah.</p>

<p>Usually I check similar artists on last.fm or I will go to the record label website and find someone to download. Sometimes I find similar bands on the band wikipedia. If you don’t believe in downloading illegally, then go to quoteunquoterecords.com and download anything Bomb the Music Industry!. You’ll become hooked.</p>

<p><a href=“http://www.asianmanrecords.com/bands.html[/url]”>http://www.asianmanrecords.com/bands.html&lt;/a&gt; Any of those bands are pretty awesome though I need to give ultra props to Andrew Jackson Jihad, Bomb the Music Industry!, Dan Potthast, Laura Stevenson and the Cans, + MU330.</p>

<p>/mu/ reporting in. The sharethreads have good stuff.</p>
