8-Tracks: Finals & Studying Playlist Paradise

With finals and big exams just around the corner for many high school and college students, there is a high demand for coping mechanisms to relieve the intensity and stress of these demanding weeks. One of the best ways that many people, including myself, alleviate stress is by listening to music. With thousands of artists and millions of songs out there, it can be difficult to find the right music for the studying ambiance. 8-Tracks radio makes the process very easy.

8-Tracks Radio is a free online radio that lets members create their own playlists to share, but most importantly, allows users to search pre-made playlists. By entering a mood, genre, or activity in the search bar, the website pulls up existing mixes that match your request (you can also search by artist or song). Members can also favorite songs or playlists, and they can utilize the pages entitled Featured, Recommended, Hot, and Recent. This music search engine is PERFECT for students searching for a music get away from the piles of Organic Chemistry they are studying for. The website is also available in app form for Apple, Google, and Windows phones.
