8tracks is a music service that emphasizes human curation over automated recommendations. Users build online mixtapes containing eight or more tracks, including a title, artwork, and tags, which listeners can stream to discover music by mood, genre, or country. The company is based in San Francisco, California. It was founded in 2006 and launched in 2008, operates with a small team, and has pursued app enhancements and partnerships, such as a 2020 update to its iOS app developed in collaboration with Spotify.
