Wife has Spotify so I use that to check out new stuff. Also, KEXP out of Seattle streams online for free and is awesome for finding new music! [kexp.org] (free plug I guess)
New stuff I like I buy as MP3s and store on a 120 gb sd card on my phone. I do a lot of camping and sailing and stuff out in the mountains so I like local storage in addition to ownership.
Old stuff from dead people I'll usually "pirate" their whole discography when it's available. I like a lot of blues and jazz and I'm not paying hundreds of dollars to get everything from an artist.
When I'm buying stuff I can usually find it on the Amazon MP3 store which they don't make very obvious that it even exists. It's there though and it works pretty good if you need to deal with actual Satan and all.
How is the audio quality on stuff ripped from YouTube? Seems like it would be crappy...

It depends on the particular upload. "Official" stuff is usually high quality.
