8tracks Handcrafted Internet Radio is now on SONOS

I’ve written about Sonos previously and the ability for Sonos Controller to stream music from any source including online sources. The latest addition to their online lineup is 8tracks which is an internet radio service that allows people to share and discover music with short playlists of at least 8 tracks. It will bring back memories of radio in the 1970s, or the mix tapes generation of the 1980s, and the DJ culture of the 1990s through today. DJs share their talent in taste making, providing exposure for artists. Sonos listeners get a unique blend of word-of-mouth sharing and radio programming — long the trusted means for music discovery — on a global scale.

Through Sonos Controller, you can now browse and discover new music shared across the 8tracks community. You can like playlists in order to listen to them later, and publish your own playlists to share them with the global community. It’s ad-free, and completely free to join.

In celebration of the arrival of 8tracks on Sonos, they’re throwing a virtual house party and giving away 3 pairs of PLAY:3 wireless music systems.  Just make your best house party mix — head over to the contest page on 8tracks for details.
