Free Download 8tracks Apk  - 8tracks - Radio, rediscovered


8tracks is handcrafted internet radio -- the social, curated alternative to Pandora. Featuring more than 450,000+ mixes created by people who know & love music, the 8tracks Android app gives you easy, free & mobile access to the best collection of music playlists on the web.

Getting started
When you open the 8tracks Android app, sign up to personalize your listening experience. This allows you to Favorite tracks, Like mixes and Follow DJs (we only ask for a username, email and password). Or, just click “Take me to the music” and select one of our Hot mixes. If you’d like to browse other mixes, click the 8tracks icon to open the navigation options. You can refine your search results by selecting a sort order (New, Hot, Popular) in combination with one or more tags (typically genre or mood). You can also search mixes by tag, artist or description.


Listening to a mix
When you click on a mix, you’ll arrive at the “mix page”, which displays the mix title, cover art, and a count of “plays” and “likes” received to date. The current track is displayed along with player controls at the bottom of the screen, and the star icon allows you to Favorite it. If you enjoy a playlist, click Like to bookmark it for later, or Share it with friends via text, email, Twitter, Tumblr or Facebook. Or, click Next mix to jump to the following mix in the set. The mix is described and tagged at the bottom of the page.
Being social
8tracks is fundamentally social. Once logged in, click on a DJ’s name or avatar on any mixpage to check out the DJ’s profile. This profile presents basic info (location, short bio, Twitter handle, website, etc.), stats (mixes, followers, following), and a list of all mixes published by that DJ. You can Follow the DJ to add his or her mixes to your mix feed; mixes by all of the DJs you follow are included here in reverse chronological order.
