8tracks is shutting down on December 31

[duskpeterson]

According to the Organization of Transformative Works:

Popular fanmix and fan soundtrack website 8tracks recently announced that it will be shutting down on December 31, 2019. While the site might be available after this date, there’s no guarantee it will stay up - so if you’re a fanmix or fan soundtrack creator (or have created any type of playlist on 8tracks), now is a very good time to save the data from your playlists or make them available on another site.

These Tumblr posts offer detailed information from OTW and from our Tumblr blog on how to save playlists.

One of our members is helping with the race to save fandom-related 8tracks playlists. Our Tumblr post ends by saying, "If you need help saving a lot of playlists, email the list of URLs to admin@vidders.net Please put the word 8Tracks in your subject line."
