Like Pandora, you can’t request individual songs, you can’t see what songs are included in a playlist and skip ahead to play your favorites, you can’t put tracks on repeat, you can’t play only those from your favorite artist, and you can’t download and save the tracks you like. That means a mix can have anything from mainstream top 40 fare to rare indies – it’s whatever the DJ has on their hard drive. There are no restrictions on the type of tracks these DJs can choose, beyond a couple of requirements that help keep 8tracks legal (they can’t be mashups or pre-release songs, for example). Its some 600,000 mixes are uploaded by a small portion (less than 1%) of the app’s users, known as DJs. Today, you finally have best of both worlds: beauty and brains.įor those unfamiliar, 8tracks is a streaming, not on-demand, music service. While 8tracks has always offered a great way of finding new music, the mobile interface was somewhat lacking.
#8TRACKS RADIO REVIEWS UPDATE#
For those who remember the earlier version of the app out last year, it will be as if you’re getting a brand-new application altogether. 8tracks 2.0, as the update is being called, introduces a number of new components, including fullscreen album artwork, the ability to find and invite friends, and a unique music discovery feature which lets you find music by both mood and genre.
Streaming music startup 8tracks is officially relaunching its iPhone application today, which offers a much-needed (and really well done) user interface revamp.
