8tracks

Nowadays, with the advent of different artist in different kinds of genre can be a little difficult to keep track. Much more if you want to create custom mixes with these music. It is a personal as well as intimate undertaking which must be handled with great care. That is to say, heaving songs together hastily without it having been carefully thought of, is not the right approach on doing it. Moreover, finding a good app that is free and legal should also be taken into account.

In any case, a new and better internet radio that would allow you to find your type of music genre and mix them with better accuracy and efficiency is now on its way to better serve you. It is called the 8tracks. Basically, 8tracks is a handcrafted internet radio which allows people to discover and share music by means of online mix. It fundamentally converts those previously private mix tapes into a freely available property. In essence, the concept is rather simple. The users would just simply upload music to the site from their home libraries, primped and ordered by title and album covers, and directly publish the finished output for people to enjoy. The rules are also reasonably basic. From the name of the site itself, mixes must comprise of at least 8 songs and there should be more than two songs from the same album or artist. Aside from that, the possibilities are comparatively never- ending.

With all the frenzy that are caused by algorithms of site like the Last.FM or Pandora, 8tracks will, without a doubt, do a better job of providing a wide range of genres that would suit every user’s taste. 8tracks may not be the same experience with the old- school mixing of tapes but the agile blending of intimacy and directness draws the age- old musical channel into the new age of social media.
