8tracks was founded in 2006 by David Porter and launched online in 2008 by a small team working nights and weekends in New York, California and France. The company offers mobile apps to take your music selection with you, and is accessible on a variety of platforms. 8tracks is considered one of the best ways to discover new music, and has slowly and steadily established itself as the industry's leading Internet mixtape start-up. It has been described as a popular "legal free music service", which takes a fun approach to creating bespoke playlists with the idea that user-created music programs are more entertaining than algorithm-generated lists. In 2011, TIME named 8tracks one of the best websites, and the company has also been featured in TechCrunch, Lifehacker and The Inquisitr.
