What's your method for searching DM?

Veracohr	Date: December 15, 2003 @ 12:19 AM What's your method for looking for new music on DMusic? I rarely go to the charts. It's always the same songs at the top, and I don't want to wade through page after page to find something new. So sometimes I check out who's online, I usually try to check out the music of artists who comment on my songs, and when I see a new name on the forums or somebody's shoutbox, I check them out.
Cryxan	Date: December 15, 2003 @ 1:10 AM Several methods. I get to most artist pages by seeing their name in the forum or someone's song comment. Especially if their posts are thoughtful, it makes me wonder what kind of music they come up with, so I go check. Sometimes I'll check the Recent Uploads in the various genre pages. Or Who's Online.
woodhead	Date: December 15, 2003 @ 1:36 AM Recent uploads I do this also, and also at genre pages also. I am always looking for new music and new soundsso for me visit the recent uploads is a good tool.
GeneHilbert	Date: December 15, 2003 @ 2:14 AM I'm with Cryxan ..... I peruse the forums ... attitudes and insights are very revealing. Not so much about musical ability as about state of mind and ego ...... so the comparisons between art and attitude makes for some interesting observations. I am excluded of course - my brain has been fried for years...

onewhodreams	Date: December 15, 2003 @ 11:01 AM Pretty much the same as everyone here. Respond to anyone who has commented on my songs, check the forums for new names, and see who's new or what the most recent uploads are.
furiousBall	Date: December 15, 2003 @ 11:56 AM i start by the recent uploads or if someone let's me know they uploaded something new, but then from their, i like hitting all the ppl that may have commented on the track and check out their music. i also like doing what gene explained too, if someone posts something that i find interesting in the forums, i'll definitely check out their tunes

BenRebel	Date: December 15, 2003 @ 2:30 PM lol I have to read what I write
BenRebel	Date: December 15, 2003 @ 2:38 PM ok with out sounding like an idiot again Why do the DM picks seem's to be the same persons when there is 1000's of artist songs out there .. I know I'm a newbie (an old one at that lol) so maybe I just don't understand yet the in's and out's of Dmusic
fu-dog	Date: December 15, 2003 @ 7:03 PM The old charts are not really reflective of what's hot on the site at any given moment. I'm working on new charting systems. In fact, i've just started more accurate data collection today. When there's a large enough sample of data i'll be changing the charts to be more reflective of the most popular songs of a given period.
Veracohr	Date: December 16, 2003 @ 3:28 AM Fu saves the day again!
BenRebel	Date: December 16, 2003 @ 10:07 PM Thank FU thought I had to slip someone a 100 spot what do you think about every few days a spot where all an artist works laid out for comments and to feature them maybe a little about them I'm sure there are 100 or even 1000's of good songs ou there I don't know the players for the newbies etc.etc. and also limit shows to 1 or 2 songs per artist to reflex more artist..
Lcrowley	Date: December 16, 2003 @ 10:24 PM I use every method you guys have mentioned !! lol Shoutbox, Who's online, Forums, Someone links me .. front page features .. plus .. I love to weed throught the charts .. ha ha ha . if I am bored that is what I love to do ..
kredd	Date: December 17, 2003 @ 10:59 PM i use a bucket of ice, 2 cotton swabs and a nine iron
woodhead	Date: December 17, 2003 @ 11:28 PM A nine iron!! fore, where is the first tee box I am there!
MonnieB	Date: March 11, 2004 @ 10:56 PM Forums is the best way... That's what I think... I can't even imagine how many post to the forums, but they're all right there, waiting to clicked... ^_^
Distilled1	Date: March 11, 2004 @ 11:10 PM All the above
TameasDust	Date: March 11, 2004 @ 11:16 PM well first I call my phone company cause the phone don't work ... then I dialup when it does ... then I waddle over and kick the wall a bit while the forums are loading ... then I post a few nasty posts to a few choice people and then I cruise over to the promotions thread and seek any new ones ... sometimes I even bother to cruise the music charts ... 20 at a time
shinkaide	Date: March 12, 2004 @ 6:54 PM Anything that chillinbuzz and jennae recommend. Those're sure to be good.
kingo	Date: March 22, 2004 @ 7:31 PM I go to the bottom of the bin in a category and start there. Really don't have a high success rate that way, but it's somethin'. I'd love to see a sort of random play-everything-here feature implemented somehow.
sinai	Date: March 22, 2004 @ 7:33 PM mostly watching the interaction box and the artist's online list, checking out anyone i dunt recognize from those...
SPSMag	Date: March 23, 2004 @ 10:25 AM I click the music tab and then the genre that I want to hear. It's the easiest way for me.
