For those who remember the long and painful MuxTape saga, it may seem that another attempt to emulate the popular mixtape site would be a hopeless cause, but 8tracks is hoping for a new angle on the old idea. Users upload or select songs from the existing online library and create a playlist of 8 tracks, which totals about 30 minutes of curated music. At the heart of the site there is the understanding that music fans can create innovative playlists that lead similar listeners to new and interesting selections. Be sure to check out their tumblr and twitter sites.
