Music

Create impossible playlists using tracks and music videos from YouTube, Vimeo, SoundCloud and Bandcamp.

8tracks is handcrafted internet radio, available in US and Canada only.

It offers a simple way for people to share and discover music through an online mix, a short playlist containing at least 8 tracks. On 8tracks, people can do two things: listen to a mix, or create a mix. Listeners can search for a mix by artist or genre, stream it in a legal, radio-style manner, and follow others who make compelling mixes. DJs upload MP3s or AACs to craft a playlist, add context with description and art, and publish their mix on 8tracks.com and a personal webpage.
