8tracks app review


Remember back in the day when you used to make mix tapes or CDs for trips or your buddies?  8tracks is that but in the new age. It's a website that allows you to upload songs and makes playlists then share those via the app or Website.  I know there are a good amount of these sites out there but I honestly don't know of any that do it like I want it other than 8tracks. This has become my go to for new music. Nearly every time I look up a band and find a mix with them in it I find at last 2 bands that I wouldn't have heard of otherwise.


The good:

New music everywhere!  People put their own bands or local bands in the mixes so you hear a lot of new stuff.  You can search for tags, artists, genres, and mixes so you can find all kinds of crazy new and sometimes unexpected music. I enjoy seeing what other people have for summer mixes, etc. I've heard people go from Will Smith to bands like shadows fall, so is always interesting.

The bad:


The only bad things I can see so far are the small amount of skips and the lack of mix creation from mobile. 

Final thoughts:

If you're looking for a new music app and new music this is one of the best. Find me and send me mixes! I'm mapexonly and I'm ready to rock.

Final score: 4/5
