allow gapless playback
Gapless playback would be nice if you've put together a mix using Mixmeister or similar software (as I have) - I realise this isn't really feasible with a streaming service like this so what about being able to upload less than eight tracks - i.e. one track-at-once? Or is this… more
Status: startedGapless playback working Android, coming to iOS.

allow user to delete their uploaded songs
I understand that perhaps you haven't included this option because other users are allowed to use songs that one uploads. However, a user should still be able to delete songs they have uploaded. Perhaps they accidentally uploaded a poor version of a song, or maybe they just decided don't want… more
Status: plannedWe'll add this feature soon. For now, any songs that are not in use will be automatically deleted after a couple of weeks.

Top 10 Mixes last 24 hours/week/all-time
I think a top ten list with the most popular mixes uploaded the last week, last month and all-time would be nice. So you could for example see which mix uploaded that month was the most popular (must be a reason for it)... Of course there are many possibilities to… more
Status: plannedWe've gone back and forth on this one, but after testing we've concluded there just isn't enough change once the time frame gets longer than a week.

History of previous mixtapes listened/browsed
A little minimal history bar above the player of previous mixtapes visited/listened would be nice. Sometimes you want to go back to the previous more favorable mixtape but don't want to fight with the back button on the browser.

Can we have an adjustable crossfader facility?
Even if we can't keep the same order as sequenced by the dj, it would be nice to have a cross fade facility to blend tracks together with a setable duration(like on Microsoft Media Player) to keep that 'radio' feel.
Agree! That's a great idea, C. We've talked about this a little bit internally. It's not easy, but we should be able to figure it out. Makes everything a bit more polished.

bookmark mixes to listen to later
"Liked" mixes implies you have listened to that mix and want to hear it again.
There should be a way to have a "to listen to" list. - ie mixes that you haven't heard but will check out in the future. I realised I could do this in my browser… more
Status: plannedThis one is coming.

Link songs to the mixes they appear in
When I search for an artist to include in my mix, I am often curious to know who else used the track(s) uploaded, and what kind of music they thought the track(s) matched with.
I like this idea. One simple way to implement it would be to include a link ("find mixes") next to each track in the Create-a-mix tabs. This would take a would-be DJ back over to the listening section and auto-populate the searchbox based on the track name.
While I think we've some more urgent items, I'll add this as a project in our feature tracker.

Recommend mixes/DJs based on listening history/stars
Help users discover other mixes and DJs with intelligent recommendations. Maybe there is someway to integrate with the intelligence of Last.fm to do this kind of thing. Maybe there is an easier way to match up users based on history and starring patterns. Would definitely drive usage of the site.

"POP OUT THE PLAYER"
Why not pop out the player? A small option maybe like "pop me out" and then instantly 8tracks transforms into the coolest little internet radio gadget on the planet :)
Status: under reviewWe had this functionality early on but then decided to integrate the player in the page more fully. Agree this could be a good idea, perhaps even as a browser plug-in. We'll consider this.

Collaborative mixes
A lot of times I will get a good idea for a mix, but only know 2 - 3 songs that would fit. Not sure if it would be feasible, but it would be cool to have a section for these incomplete mixes that others can add tracks to. Adding… more

let the DJ comment on each song
It would be cool if we could leave a personal comment for each song in the mix, like "best bassline of all time" or "this song changed my life when I was 15."
Status: plannedYes, this one is coming as well.

Allow users to add multiple mixes to a queue
Allow users to create a queue of mixes they would like to listen to, and have the next mix play when one finishes, instead of going to a random one (unless the queue is empty).

Create a SONOS Plug-In
Work with Sonos to allow 8tracks to be a Music Service in Sonos.
Status: plannedWe definitely want to do this. Hopefully we can get something done by first quarter of next year.

Display stats on listeners
I want to know who listened, referrers, flag icon of the country they came from (and if they are an 8tracks listener, a link to the their userid).
Good idea. I've added a DJ "stats package" to our project list. Agree this would be valuable.

Show sites linking to your mix
Youtube has an option where you can view all of the websites embedding or linking to your video and i think this would be great for 8tracks

Offer a native Blackberry app
Love the idea of ready made playlists, instead of individual songs like one would find on other sites. Much rather listen to 8Tracks!
Status: under reviewNo news on the Blackberry front, though you should be abel to acces the site via m.8tracks.com.

Boolean tag filtering (exclude mixes with a certain tag)
Ability to add negative tags to your current filtering criteria.
E.g. I am searching for "dubstep", "electro", and want to exclude all mixes tagged "indie".
Taking this a step further, allow the OR operator, so I could search for "trip hop" OR "trip-hop"
Status: under reviewThanks for the suggestion. I can see how this might be nice addition to hybrowe. Not sure how the UI would work though. I'll bring it up with the crew and see what the deal is.

Make it possible to categorize my "Liked mixes" to organize them better.
With every mix i like my collection of "liked mixes" is getting bigger and bigger. For me it´d be positive if I could categorize my "liked mixes", to organize them.
It should be able to create some kind of "folders" like (my party mixes, study mixes, summer mixes, ...you know… more
Status: plannedWe're going to get this as part of a larger project. I think you can expect something by the end of 1 quarter 2012.
