8tracks - Best Playlist Radio for Positive User Reviews
✓ Thank you 8tracks!This has been my all time favorite music site/app since 2009!!! (before the ads!!!) This is where I would go to get lost... to find new music, my favorite artists have been discovered here. THANK YOU so much for bringing back unlimited listening time! I’m so excited to start discovering new music again. One tiny suggestion: when searching for playlists using the tags can there be an option on how the playlists are filtered? Sometimes I wish I could pull up playlists that are brand new, just added. I can’t seem to figure out a way to do that! Thanks for everything!!.Version: 3.3.74
✓ Unlimited again!Now that the time limit per week is no longer in use anymore I will resume to use this app as liberally as I did before the limit was put in place. I'm glad that the developers got the money that they did, and one day I hope to become a member too. A really great app and I'm glad I can use it as much as before again because this is my favorite music streaming app..Version: 3.3.73
✓ Good conceptGreat concept but could be better. Ads are annoying but of course they have to be in there so they can keep up with pandora and the like. It would be a lot better if you see the entire list of songs on whatever playlist you’re listening to. I would use it a lot more if that feature was added and would maybe buy the premium service..Version: 3.3.76
✓ Homegrown beauty. Love hearing what people create.Outstanding app. I just don’t know what to pay for it..Version: 3.3.76
✓ Do plus subscribers have to listen to ads?I just got your email about the new free listening and I’m hoping the answer is no. I use 8tracks when writing and drawing so to suddenly hear an ad will kinda break my focus. I haven’t been using the app as much with little time for it so I haven’t tested it yet but I’ve been a plus subscriber for over a year now so I hope I don’t have to hear the ads! (Though yay for you guys!! I’m glad you’re on the up and up I love you guys).Version: 3.3.73
✓ I love 8tracksIt’s easy to use and awesome to find new music.Version: 3.3.76
✓ Solid|A haters conversion reviewAll I can say is, finally. Quality listening app with super unique playlists. The streaming site had a few bumps since their beginning that was sad to witness and they did fall out of favor for me. Now they’re back and for a small price of 4.99 a month you can listen without ads or listen for free with the ads. I think both options are definitely a small price to pay for the unique listening experience that you really can’t get from other streaming sites/apps. I’m happy that I can listen to the playlists I haven’t been able to listen to for a couple of years. 8Tracks is finally back to what made them so great in the first place!.Version: 3.3.76
✓ Perfect on WiFi, Doesn’t Work on DataI’ve been using 8tracks for years, making and sharing tons of playlist. The desktop and mobile versions are great except one thing, when I leave my house and don’t have access to data, I constantly get a notice that there’s something wrong and it can’t play music. I wanted to upgrade to unlimited listening, by if I can’t listen outside of work/home i.e. when I’m driving on road trips, I don’t think I will. Is this just me??.Version: 3.3.74
✓ Great music appIt’s a great app to use to find new music!.Version: 3.3.90
✓ Great appThis app is great and always has been, I’m going to miss it soooo much..Version: 3.3.90
✓ 5 stars to 1 to 5I, like many of you, was outraged and disappointed when 8tracks ended its free unlimited listening. I deleted the app and tried to find solace in its competitors. I tried every music app's free version out there, and yet, here I am back at 8tracks. It really has the best music. And when you think of it, is $30/year, or $2.50/month really that much for unlimited listening of the best music? Nope. Not at all. I'm happy to be back!.Version: 3.3.60
✓ Old UserI uploaded a bunch of really good playlists back in 2010 and it was a good way to get what I was doing with music out there. Some of my fondest memories were finding the next unknown underground hit other services just pass by used in an artistic display that blends the perfect mix. Some of the playlists create a story where otherwise unrelated songs feed off of each other..Version: 3.3.90
✓ Love this site!I have been using 8tracks since 2010 (wow!). I love this site. I have found so many new artists I enjoy but I also have found playlists that speak to me more than albums by my favorite musicians. The study playlists I found honestly got me through college. I turned to some more angsty playlists to get me through my first year of teaching. Now, I turn to 8tracks all the time. I only have ever had to contact support from 8tracks once and it was the best customer service I have ever had-prompt, personal, correct. I love 8tracks..Version: 3.3.76
✓ Favorite Music App!!!!I’ve had this app for years. I downloaded it before they had the whole pay to listen thing, and it was my favorite way to find new songs because there’s so much there that people have never heard. I was so disappointed when they started limiting how much music you can listen to, but of course I still used the app as much as I could. I’m so excited that unlimited listening is back!!! Can’t wait to see where the next updates take us..Version: 3.3.76
✓ Terrible (No longer terrible!)I used to love this app, I found some of my favorite artists because of this app. All of a sudden I have 1 hour of listening per WEEK. I uninstalled the app and will find something else to listen to music with. Update: I got an email today that all listening limits were gone. Unlimited listening, how it was before! I’m so excited and immediately downloaded the app. I’m so happy to start exploring the app and new music again..Version: 3.3.73
✓ PerfectAll the music all the time.Version: 3.3.76
✓ Better than SpotifyIt’s better than Spotify Especially for study music.Version: 3.3.90
✓ Really good but has its flawsI’ve been a long time user/member of 8tracks and have loved a lot of the music on there! My only big issue is as of recent, I would have to hit play after EVERY song and that’s an issue because I use this app to help me sleep. I’ve reported it to Support or “Chris” twice and have gotten the same “ reinstall the app or restart your phone” script email in reply. I really love this app but might not be using it for much longer if the playback issue isn’t resolved soon..Version: 3.3.90
✓ Awesome app... exceptBest mix app! But lately the open advertisement plays over the opening song! Really annoying! Need to be fixed.Version: 3.3.90
✓ All starsLet me start my saying that I don't even write review but i LOVED this app so much that I don't even know what made you guys think to make these decision and changes. I'm so disappointed because you guys will be loosing most of your audience to freakin pandora, fees are ridiculous for people that just want to enjoy music. I will be instilling your app from my devices & I hope you guys rethink you're decisions. I really hope I can re-install this app in the future with it being as it used to be before..Version: 3.3.91
✓ It's really improved!I love the way the commercials are now it's really more enjoyable than the limited listening time. Something I would like to request is if users can put playlist in different folders that are public to Users (maybe just like another tab on a person's profile) Also having back covers so it could feel even more like an album would be neat..Version: 3.3.76
✓ I 💋8Trax!Best streaming app out there. Paid version is TOTALLY worth it!!! Luv my 8Trax!!! Will never quit!.Version: 3.3.90
✓ Issues with playerLove this app - I’ve used this app for a of couple years now! I always recommend it to friends when I get the chance. However there’s a new glitch, you’re not able to continue a playlist when the next song on the list won’t start. Each time this has happened I had to open the app up and hit the play button for each song. Other than that everything else works great!.Version: 3.3.76
✓ 8track>SpotifyI like the search feature. It can be based on fandoms or moods. It is easy to find the perfect playlist for studying and for other stuff. A lot less ads then Spotify. When ads do pop up, they are very short. There is a premium feature but it does not precent the free version from being useful by its own. Some songs are not identified correctly or do not show the artist. The only downside is the song descriptions but that is the users responsablilities rather then the developers..Version: 3.3.76
✓ Fav app, until...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..Version: 3.3.75
✓ Feels like home!I am absolutely thrilled for the return of 8tracks this year! I have been a DJ on the site for over seven years and have loved every minute of being a part of the community. You can really tell just how much the founders and team really cares about this project on both the desktop and mobile versions. The app is perfectly simple and allows the user to find old and new mixes to enjoy from their handheld device. Looking forward to more updates in the 8tracks community and app in the future:).Version: 3.3.92
✓ Amazing App!I've been using 8tracks for 5 years now and haven't missed making a monthly playlist since I started. This app is so simple to use and works wonderfully. I always discover new music on here very easily, but the best part is being able to play my own playlist through this app without downloading them onto my phone and taking up space. The only option I think would be super rad would be a shuffle option for all of my playlist songs. THAT WOULD BE SO GREAT. Keep up the great work guys!!.Version: 3.3.61
✓ InterconnectedI love exploring music on this app. Every genre and sub-genre never fails me to listen in to someone else’s playlist and become immersed in their taste of music. I have found great instrumental soundtracks for studying that on occasion I’ll listen to clean my room or write me book. With a few complications that the soundtrack can only be played once after 8 hours, I enjoy the star button on each track that helps me catalog new catchy songs. I have been using this app for more than 3 years and I cannot be thankful enough to have found this diverse and interconnected app..Version: 3.3.76
✓ Advertisement Problems, But Incredible ProgramI began using 8tracks a couple of years back and immediately fell in love with the interface and community. I left after the obligatory paid membership introduction, and have once again returned at the announcement of the free-with-ads membership. I do not mind the ads at all, but have been experiencing a problem (both on the app and the website interface) specifically with the Home Depot ad. If the HD ad plays first, the second ad will be silence with no picture of a company, and the timer will sit at 0:30 indefinitely. I am then forced to clear the app and re-enter (iPhone XR) or refresh the page (website) in order to continue listening. A strange problem that I never experienced in my early days of using 8tracks, but not a big enough problem for me to not use the service..Version: 3.3.90
✓ Fav music app since day 1 ish8tracks is a great idea, not just algorithms picking your music, it’s playlists people make and you sort through those. Tags and individual (real) people make mixes. Can get a generic thing or a really awesome creation, almost like the person’s mix on 8tracks is an album itself. Found some of my fav music on here, so bring on some new playlists people it’s nice to share xD could also take my own advice and make a mix or two...fine.Version: 3.3.92
✓ Ideal music service for meI have had an account for many years. It’s a truly unique streaming service where the focus is on creating playlists, and the music on the playlists is secret (typically). This allows me to discover new artists and new genres that I wouldn’t have normally decided to listen to. We’re all guilty of listening to the same 10 songs on repeat. 8tracks lets me break free from that cycle. I especially love the playlists that cater to specific fandoms (mostly anything you can think of, there’s a playlists for it. a certain video game, a character, a book... season...). They might not be my preferred music, but it gives me a sense to understand someone else’s interpretation of *insert whatever here*. At some point they imposed a listening limitation that made me stop using the app for awhile, but it seems to have been retracted. This is good, however, I think it’s about time I fork over $30 so i can listen to these playlists without Home Depot ads LOL. Truthfully, it’s a relatively cheap expense, and since I love this app so much I think it’s worth it. My recommendation? If you’re a nerdy, fandom-loving, need to find some niche subject to express via music, or simply an “indie” music lover, this is a great app. Download it and you’ll understand. If you aren’t any of those, there’s still plenty of playlists you can enjoy. Thanks 8tracks for the great times!.Version: 3.3.76
✓ It’s GreatI love this app, even with the decreased number of new playlists since a lot of people jumped ship after the listening limits were imposed. I have a Plus subscription, though, and plan to keep using it as long as I can. My only real issue is that the option to stop playback at the end of a playlist was recently removed from the mobile app. I used that particular sleep timer every time I listened to a playlist, and using the app without it is a little annoying. I’d love to either have that sleep timer back or an option like on the website to automatically stop playback at the end of every playlist..Version: 3.3.73
✓ So glad you’re back!!!8tracks has always had way better playlists than anyone else..Version: 3.3.91
✓ Thank you so much omgBeen using this since I was around twelve- and I have discovered SO MUCH MUSIC. Also made so much playlists over the years... this sounds like an ad now lol.Version: 3.3.90
✓ Was so goodJust received an email indicating they are closing up shop - that sucks. I’d admit I didn’t use it as much as I used to - I have an *extensive* collection of music, only some on my phone, but when I was bored with what I had, I would fire this up and I always managed to discover something new or forgotten, and marvel at the effort people put into putting together playlists. I tried to get my kids using it, but they always are stuck in listening to what they know, with very little new coming into that. I don’t have Spotify. Anyhow, thanks for the music, the discoveries, and best wishes for all your futures..Version: 3.3.90
✓ It's Like All the Music of the World in One PlaceWhere else can I find a 21st century K-Pop cut and a Korean pop song from the 1950's in the same place? 8tracks has music I would have never heard otherwise. There are cuts from my favorite 60's groups that I never knew existed. From ABBA to ZZ Top and their counterparts from around the world. They are all here. Everyone likes free, but this is still a steal for less than a cup of Starbucks joe each month..Version: 3.3.61
✓ Great app! Only one complaint....This is an amazing app and I love it so much it’s a great way to share music and find different kinds of music you can listen to I love it so much, expect for the fact that you can’t listen to same playlist more than once if you want to listen to that playlist again you have to wait 8 HOURS! Which I think is unnecessary and it’s my only complaint I really want to bring attention to this and I hope this is something that can be fixed soon!.Version: 3.3.76
✓ PerfectRecently got some more ads but in general a great way to find new music that fits your mood ☺️.Version: 3.3.76
✓ Weird music for the weird soulI’ve used 8tracks since my freshman year of high school and beyond, for writing inspiration, for homework, for background noise, etc. Almost all of my favourite artists today, I’ve found through some weird aesthetic playlist in the back-end of a search tag. Despite some clunky UI and the occasional bizarre glitch, it’s overall a smooth and incredible service, and well worth the price for exposure to so much good music. Just glad I’ve got the space for it on my phone again!.Version: 3.3.61
✓ A Final GoodbyeI’ve been using 8tracks for a little over 3 years and I’m very grateful for it. It was a little frustrating once there was a time limit on how much we could listen, but once that was removed, everything became great again. I’ve discovered so many different types of music and artists through 8tracks that I wouldn’t have otherwise and I’m extremely sad to see it go. 8tracks has a great variety of music to listen to and the search option really helped me narrow down what I wanted to hear (whether it be based on my current mood, on the weather or fandom based). That being said, thank you 8tracks, for the wonderful years of music 💙.Version: 3.3.90
✓ Best EverI love this app. All my favourite tracks are here. From worship songs to chill songs. I just love it. Cheers 8Tracks. ❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️.Version: 3.3.76
✓ Pretty awesome :)As a user of 8tracks for many years, I’ve been with this app through all the growing pains and I’m so excited to see them coming out on the other side of things unscathed. While many other apps may have given into the temptation to chase dollar bills, 8tracks has hung on to the virtues that made it a great app in the first place- namely putting music and users first. However above all, 8tracks actually listens to its users and seems to be working extremely hard to provide improvements and changes based on the feedback from its users. I absolutely love that. Barring some massive change, 8tracks will remain my go-to app for listening to my favorite playlists and searching for new music :).Version: 3.3.74
✓ Fav streaming serviceWhy? User created playlists offer a broad selection of great tunes and an easy way to find new stuff. Less ads more music. Are there downsides? Yes. To me they are that you can only listen to a playlist once in 24 hours which I could do without but it does force me to find new stuff. The search functions could be better. And I still don’t know how to create my own playlists. Other than that it’s one of few apps I’d rate five starts. Been on 8tracks for a solid few years and never been disappointed..Version: 3.3.76
✓ Great collection of playlists!I enjoy this app a lot, even with the recent change to one free hour of music a week, but I can't seem to get the app to work on my phone. I have an iPhone 6S, and after an update a month or so ago the app stopped playing playlists. The updates since then haven't fixed it, and I've tried all the solutions suggested on the help page. The app still works on my iPhone 5S (I decided to stop updating it until it started working on my 6S again though). I'm not sure if this is happening to other users as well. This happened a while ago as well, but it was eventually fixed with one of the updates, so hopefully this time it will be fixed as well! On a more positive note, I really love the set up of the app. It's so fun to listen to playlists that fit into such a wide variety of categories, and know that each one is full of songs that someone loved and put together. Thank you for creating such a wonderful app!! UPDATE: The problem has since been fixed, and I’m enjoying the app again!.Version: 3.3.61
✓ Love itI LOVE THIS APP. It the only one that can help me fall asleep please never leave again lol.Version: 3.3.91
✓ Bugs introduced in latest updatesThe most recent updates have introduced new bugs into the app. The songs no longer auto play, so I have to go into the app and hit play each time. This unfortunately makes the app basically unusable, since I want the music to seamlessly play in the background without interruption. Even though I’ve had an annual subscription for a while, 8tracks auto cancelled it instead of auto renewing it. Having to set that up again is annoying. The ads are super buggy! The app plays the audio for the ad over the music, so that both are playing at once. Also, the layout for the ad is super messy and most of the time there is no ad image or video at all. I won’t be renewing my subscription until the bugs are fixed!.Version: 3.3.90
✓ 8tracks is my favorite appI’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. 😄.Version: 3.3.76
✓ Yay!Still an amazing website/app! <333.Version: 3.3.90
✓ Best and eclectic playlist anywhereReally good community and great way to discover music since 20 2011.Version: 3.3.90
