I rarely store music on my iPhone because I’m usually opening up 8tracks, Pandora, Downcast, etc and playing stuff from there. There are times though where I need music because data isn’t available. And that’s where 8hacks comes in. Downloading music from 8tracks is pretty much impossible. There is no easy download link you can click to get the songs. The loophole I used before was closed down…until now. 8hacks makes downloading music from 8tracks so easy, like idiot proof easy. Here are the 4 steps to getting the music from 8tracks to your lovely hard drive.
STEP 1:
Go to 8hacks & scroll down to the bottom. Download the appropriate one. They even have it for Android. Awesome!
STEP 2:
Download. Open up the .zip. Open the application.
STEP 3:
Copy/Paste the link of the playlist from 8tracks into the box and click Go.
STEP 4:
Watch as the music flows into your folders. With ALL the album covers and ID3 tags…hello. Freakin’ amazing!
Now just click and drag into iTunes or whatever you use and put it on your appropriate music player. Simple. Easy. Effective. Fucking amaze-balls. THANK YOU 8HACKS. You. Are. Awesome.
They took it down… WHYYYYYY
Looks like they got a cease and desist from 8tracks. Goddamnit. -_-
anyone know of an alternative?
I’ve found them back! http://eighthacks.byethost12.com/
you are awesome!
mine stops after 4 songs, what should I do?
Sometimes it hangs up on 1 song, so you have to skip it. And then it should download the rest.
Nope, it stops after 4 songs, and I can’t skip it, there is no skip button 🙁
Same thing happening to me, it doesn’t let me download more than 4 songs and there’s no skip button :/
USE THIS AS AN ALTERNATIVE
