I have both Apple Music and Spotify, and each have some neat music discovery features.

Spotify has an “Enhance Playlist” [0] option, which (reversibly) populates your playlists with similar songs.

Both Spotify and Apply Music have a “song radio” functionality which creates a custom dynamic playlist from a seed song.

Apple Music has live radio stations which are surprisingly good.

Both services have very great curated playlists, based on every mood / topic / genre / artist imaginable.

Outside of this, just the old-fashioned methods of (1) going to music festivals to discover new artists, and (2) sharing music with friends.
