How I get new pieces today:

1. Somebody starts a thread here, and I look for the tune and decide I like it.

2. I go to a concert and decide I like it.

3. I do a google search such as "Minuet MIDI" or "Praetorius MIDI." (Michael Praetorius was a noted early composer and editor.)

4. I sing something interesting in church.

5. I delve into O'Neill's Music of Ireland and find a tune I hadn't noticed before.

I don't download any performances. I've already got enough music around the house for three people.

5. I really like something I hear on a CD I own, and I look for the music on the net. Trouble with this is, I rarely play any of my recordings. They just sit around, taking up space.
