The way in which the feed works on 8tracks means that whatever genre, mood, or combination of choices you searched for, it will continue to generate playlists with similar tags. Of course, there are other apps designed solely for those searching for new music, such as discovr, but that's a whole different ball game. It centres around ‘mixes’, not artists or albums, so there is more chance of discovering new music that fits your tastes. This, for me, is one of the highlights of this particular app. Generally, I’ve found that if a mix has a 10:1 play count: favourite ratio, it’s a damn good playlist. I like having the heart ♥ option to favorite a mix, and the play count showing how many people have listened to it. Any use of text or numbers is fairly minimal (apart from where user input takes over) and doesn’t overbear or detract from the point of the app the music. Aside from that, the icons and layout of the various screens are easily navigable. The use of the dark simple backgrounds and the subtle logo makes for a basic frame that is very easy on the eye.
This inclusivity is great - as it means that playlists you create or discover can be easily shared with friends on any device.Ĩtracks is not only visually appealing, but easy to use for even the novice app user. Aside from the simple access in your browser at it is available in app form on iPhone, Android, Blackberry, Windows 8, Sonos, Mac Uploader, Wordpress, Radio for Mac, Windows Phone and more. Now let's look at why I consider it the best.Ĩtracks is available in more formats than I even knew existed.

(I highlight that this is the best free option, because if you're willing to pay, the restrictions become far less intrusive on every count.) Now, some may argue that there are too many options for discovering and streaming music these days, so I've delved into the app store and waded through the choices, picking out my very favourite *free* app: 8tracks. If, like me, you become easily bored with the music you own, there's now a plethora of apps and sites which allow you to stream pre-made playlists with varying functions and features.
