The 8tracks App Brings Online Radio to Your Smartphone

The popular and fun music sharing website, 8tracks.com, has now been turned into an app with the 8tracks App! Users can like (heart) and listen to music on the go. Also, being an app, it is more accessible to purchase songs on the go with only a few clicks. You can search for any artist you like or just browse genres of music, mixes and playslists. There are a few differences between the site and the 8tracks App, the main one being that you cannot actually upload music or a playlist.
