  • 8Tracks is another online music playlist builder that users can share with eachother, follow playlist updates (twitterish), and it’s legal?
  • For the time being they have been permitted to operate as a small online radio station, thus giving them a discount on the royalty fees, getting the RIAA off their back…..for now
  • 8Tracks joins recently shut down MuxTape along with OpenTape, FavTape and Grooveshark in the embeddable, sharable, emailable music playlist space.
  • Will anyone besides MySpace survive the legal playlist scene?
