I never made an account with 8Tacks and IIRC if you didn't have an account you could only skip like five tracks per day or something? So the 8Tracks era was frustrating to me, personally. Was it really free?

I'm nostalgic for the days of LJ fanmixes, where the mix-maker would provide YT links to all the songs and then a zip-file link to the entire playlist at the end--plus "cover art" for the fanmix, and maybe a bit of meta to go with each song. I loved those so much.

Yesss there are a couple of LJ fanmixes that I still listen to now! One of them, I recreated on YouTube music. I miss that era.

I am seriously considering just bringing that shit back. Creating LJ-style fanmixes and then posting them to tumblr or wherever, no fucks given. Will it get engagement? Probably not. But if a bunch of 15–20-year-olds are going to insist on bringing back all the ugly-ass fashion of the 00's, my elder-millennial ass can damn well live my best online life with a bunch of 00's-style fanmixes.

Pls do! I would follow!

Omg I'd follow to. Such nostalgia!!! I still remember the cover art and the songs I was introduced to because of fan mixes! Some became songs I still jam to today!

Will say I was always hesitant about downloading them because it was the era of Limewire and viruses galore, and this was the family PC, but man! What a throwback!

I still do that! And then rarely bother to actually post them anywhere because people just want to stream so why bother. But I listen to them and look at my cover art.

Of course the downside there is you have to actually have the track in order to re-upload it.

(I still have a bunch of old ones I listen to a lot, too.)

LJ fanmixes were where I discovered SO MUCH good music! That's exclusively how I made fanmixes, and I still listen to a lot of them now.
