Lily, I tend to go on the file-sharing programs and type random words into the search engines, and download whatever shows up!
Lately, I'm more into the kind of music without singing in it - be it movie scores, techno, or that mood music that you're supposed to play while you're relaxing in a tub surrounded by candles. With that in mind, I do searches on words that might get me the hits I want, like "ocean" or "dolphin", "forest", and flowery things like that. It's worked so far.
I believe there are thousands of songs and artists out there that I will never know about because they don't play on conventional radio, or have CDs out in stores, but I'd like to come across them somehow, so I take advantage of what's available on Kazaa and Ares, etc. to find good music. I make note of everything I download, and if it sucks, cuz then I won't download it again weeks later.
