I don't know if you guys have heard, but it now costs money to use 8tracks, which was my favorite thing ever and the reason for discovering many of my favorite bands. I am beyond saddened to hear this, that I have to cram all of my fave mixes into three hours. RIP Sweet Prince. I was doing some browsing on the web, and I suddenly found a link to a so called "replacement" for 8tracks, a website called Stayed Up All Night. Apparently it's free and easy to sign up to. You can design your own little cassette tape using stickers and doodles and put any song you want on there. Plus, it's free. Did I mention that? Interested and in desperate need for another website where I can make my own little dumb mixes, I signed up and decided to give it a go. 1. Getting on the site Sign up was pretty simple. I just linked my Google account, but you can link it to your Facebook as well. From there it was pretty straightfoward, like the blank mixtape was right there. 2. Custimization You can pick out any mixtape color you like, so I picked out a nice one. I also decorated it with bomb sticks and chose a theme. 3. Picking Songs I never was a fan that on 8tracks you had to manually turn the song you wanted into an Mp3 by yourself, or search for illegal ones online. My virus-filled laptop thanks you, 8tracks! On SUAN, it's so much easier. You can just type the song into the search bar and it comes up on Youtube! (Or SoundCloud, if you want to add obscure rap music onto your mixtape.) It's that simple!!!!!! 4. The End Result After you add all of your jams, you can either publish it for the wonderful world to see, or if you're ashamed of it, keep it private. I chose to publish mine, and you can listen to it right about here! Even though this sounds #SPONS, this is not sponsored by SUAN in any way, shape or form. I'm not popular enough for that! I am just a person who tried out this website and is now obsessed with it. Make mixes for your friends, crush, your favorite person on Twitter, significant other, or your dog!
Until next time folks. Prob won't be on for a couple days because school is killing me once again. ONE MORE WEEK! ONE MORE WEEK! Stay Mix-ey. ;)
