8tracks is my favorite app

cmp621

I’ve been listening through 8tracks for a few years now and I must say that it is my all time favorite app for music. I tried other apps but nothing really compared. 8tracks really cares about its community, and listens to its concerns. I have never had a way to listen to music that so perfectly fits my mood before I had 8tracks. There are playlists for literally everything. I’m sad that 8tracks is not yet available outside of the U.S. & Canada, but will continue to use 8tracks for as long as possible!!! Thank you for creating such a fulfilling music experience. ?


Used to be the best music source ever

Seriously. I used to swear by this as the one place to get music. I still want to. But now it’s so overrun with ads. And before anyone wants to mention the subscription, I paid for it. And it made no difference. Just like everything else that used to be quality, it’s devolved into a relentless ad monster. It’s still great for music, as long as you’re ready to pay money AND be solicited to.


Awesome Variety

I’m really liking all the mashups and underground hip hop that’s on here.

Pretty good

I’m glad that 8tracks doesn’t limit listening hours anymore. It’s a great app to discover new music if you don’t mind occasional ads.


The Fall of 2014 and 2016

Lockdown_Typer94

2014 was the year where many software and applications started to become owned or influenced by Google. Take YouTube for example, it was an independent video streaming source of an internet sensation where everyone could be heard and seen. Many websites had changed their styles to look more like Google and some even made partnerships with them. I seriously miss the days when I didn’t have to hear “login with gmail.” In addition, I have always loved the styles of the own independent websites e.g: square profile pictures and not circle, font in text not being changed, not having to see a community become a part of Google or some of their ideas. I miss 8tracks being that way. The structure used to be better. If there is any reason why so many programs are becoming influenced by Google, I would like to know. I miss the old design and setup from 8tracks where I didn’t need to get a subscription to listen to music. I felt like I was apparently forced to make a billing payment to listen to be best music I couldn’t find anywhere else. Hopefully, I would like to see more of the “classic” return. As for Google, it turns out that Google likes to use any benefit or hidden opportunity from their users to make a business out of something with a subscription that would eventually take money from their pockets. Like the time in the fall of 2016, where Apple could not longer get their users to listen to the YouTube version of Safari in the background. The music would cut right away. They did this for business and YouTube Red could tell you that. Also, it turns out that iOS 11 was a terrible update for the Safari version of 8tracks. Once I lagged or it rained, or I even forget to unlock my phone to listen to the next track since it won't play it with my phone locked, it skips the next track, until I see get a noticed telling me I reach the skip limit when I haven’t done it at all.


great app! but some issues

makky923

i absolutely love 8tracks- its been my go-to music app for years, especially during hard times in my life. i love the playlists, the people, the overall idea. however, i’d love it considerably more if we had the ability to create and edit our collections on the app, not just online. it’s a bit of a pet peeve of mine, especially since i usually use 8tracks on my phone. also, i have one problem. when i upload a profile picture to my account, it vanishes! i’ve tried numerous times, but it never seems to work. anyways! thank you for making 8tracks. hoping to keep loving it!


Love it, a lot.

8Track has gotten me and continues to get me through long nights of studying. That’s deserves 5 stars. Overall, it’s a great app/site and it helps me expand my music interest with the random playlist. I really love 8Track.


Fav app, until...

Lol_Punkie

I was listening to one of my playlists I made, and then next song stopped playing. It wouldn't let me play the next song at all. I force quit the app, then opened it again, and it kept saying there was an issue loading my account. It kept saying this over and over, and then finally loaded my account, but then said there was an issue loading playlist/track information on every single playlist I tried listening to. Updated the app to see if that would fix it, but now it won't let me in at all, saying "Oops! We had trouble loading your account". Never had this issue before. It's my fav music app so I hope this gets fixed soon.


PLEASE WORK ON APP

LOOK YO.

I have been a fan since 2012 of this app however I have watched it plummet to the ground over time. Ads are annoying, a lot of glitches, not as many uploaders, this app is a great idea and very useful, just frustrating to use. Currently the login screen is having errors. Fix this.
