I was using slacker. I signed up for basic free but for some reason it gave me a 30 day trial of the basic and it ended when the whole time it was said to be free forever.

A similar thing happened with last.fm last year. I had been using it for a little over a year and all of a sudden it said my trial was over and that continued service would cost 4$/month. And Imeem got bought out by myspace and was discontinued

I really do not no any other sites that are free other than grooveshark but that got annoying since they do not have an iphone app.

So if anyone knows of a good site I would also like to know. This whole free radio suddenly turning into trials is really getting annoying.

Pandora is ok

pandora might work for him but not for me since it hates canadians

The only way i really find new stuff is through friends, XM radio, and music channels on TV (not MTV/BET/Country channels but the genre ones from cable)

Actually, I discover new music with a rather simple method.
I manually go through all albums released in a particular year.

All albums released in 2008: Wiki

I then take one I don't know and search it on youtube.

EDIT:

If you are looking for music like a particular band then search at tagomatic.

Bands like Breaking Benjamin: Tagomatic

After Pandora got taken away from the UK; I found Spotify, and that is what I am using currently.

I have the free version, but that is currently shut off, because of high demand.
It may come back at some point, but otherwise, its £9.99 a month. But for that, you can listen anywhere, on an ipod/iphone, etc, and have 320kbps OGG playback, compared to the 160kbps you get with the free version, plus any other exclusives they have.

I haven't been searching for new music for a little while now. I used to just listen to the radio a lot and when I heard something I liked I went and found it.
