Discovery: Radio while driving. When I cared more about music, I would actively seek music out (checking out the charts in various countries, etc). I'm just not that into music any more.
Upload to device? I use FolderSync on Android to sync any new songs between my PC and phone. It checks daily/weekly. Given that I was already using FolderSync to sync other directories between my PC and phone, adding this directory was "free".
I'll grant simply paying Spotify a monthly fee is more convenient. For me, though, losing it all because they change their policies, lose license deals, or go under is worth the "inconvenience" several times over. I've accumulated mp3s of pretty much any song I liked ever since I understood the concept of what a "song" is. I would never want to lose that,
