8Tracks Picks Up Where Muxtape Left Off
If you’re still on a quest to find a replacement for currently closed Muxtape music streaming site, 8Tracks offers similar features and adds a search engine and album artwork to the mix — two nice options Muxtape never offered.
Otherwise the two services are very similar, 8Tracks allows you to create and share 30-minute MP3 playlists just like Muxtape, Favtape and others. Looking for something in particular? Just search and see how other users have mixed your favorite song into their playlists.
You can also search by type of music, artist, 8tracks user and more.
There’s a pretty good chance that 8tracks will eventually fall under the RIAA’s whack-a-mole mallet, but at least for now, it’s a viable replacement for Muxtape.
The only real criticism we found is that the service’s stylized “8″ in the logo does, as a Lifehacker reader points out, bear a rather strong resemblance to the curvy “F” in Fedora’s logo.
If 8Tracks doesn’t float your boat and you’re still missing Muxtape, your could always Host Your Own Muxtape Clone With OpenTape.
