The decreasing popularity of 8tracks around 2014 seems to coincide with a general decrease in the prominence of fanmixes, likely from lack of an easily accessible way to share them.Įxamples Wanted: Editors are encouraged to add more examples or a wider variety of examples. Original character mixes (or OC mixes) were also popular. Some fanfic authors used 8tracks to publish a definitive mix for their fanwork, and invited readers to create and share their own. Fans would create playlists for a particular character, ship, or fandom, create mixes inspired by a particular fanwork, and even create playlists designed to evoke a specific trope, AU, or theme. Users of the site were sent emails with the metadata for their playlists so that they could recreate them on another website.Ĩtracks was a widely used platform for fanmixes and fan soundtracks throughout the 2010s, particularly during its heyday prior to 2014 (when it started to lose listenership to Spotify and financial troubles began to bite). On 26 December 2019, 8tracks co-founder David Porter announced the site's impending closure on 31 December, due in large part to its ongoing financial issues and failure to earn enough revenue. (8tracks will shortly provide links to Amazon so listeners can purchase the music they like.) This does not require an on-demand experience, and in fact, typically precedes it, as listeners discover and acquire those tracks they enjoy. One individual - the DJ - knows music well and introduces a set of listeners to it. Similarly, there are limits on (a) the number of songs that can be included from any one artist or any one album on a given channel or playlist within a 3-hour period, and (b) the number of tracks that can be skipped per hour on a given channel.Īt 8tracks, we feel that there's something unique and compelling in handcrafted programming - as with traditional radio in the 1970s, the mixtape in the 1980s and DJ culture in the 1990s. Accordingly, a user cannot see the all of the songs included within a playlist at the outset and then fast-forward or rewind to songs of interest (which would make the service interactive).

Hence, the rules of the compulsory license require that the sequence of playback cannot be pre-determined by a listener, and the listener may also not know what song he or she will hear next (i.e., no pre-announced playlist). An objective of the compulsory license is to ensure that a listener's experience is similar to traditional radio and essentially non-interactive (i.e., you can't hear a specific song when you want it), so as not to substitute for music purchase.
