8tracks radio is one of the apps that can really come in handy to music aficionados across the world, as it brings an impressive collection of music and support for playlists uploaded by other users.

The program is completely free and guarantees that it comes with music from every genre, while also offering “unmatched music discovery” options. It also features YouTube and SoundCloud integration to also listen to your favorite songs from these popular two services.

Of course, you can also pin your favorite mixes to the Start screen to quickly listen to them at a later time and play the same tunes across multiple Windows devices.

“Need a playlist for the weekend, working out or making out? Do you like deep house or dubstep, indie rock or classic rock, jazz or punk? We’ve got it all in droves -- you can pick from more than 1 million fresh, free playlists, each curated by someone who knows and loves music. Enjoy millions of songs uploaded and curated by people ‘round the world,’” the app description published in the store reads.

It works perfectly on touch devices, so, in case you've already purchased a Surface RT for instance, this is the right companion app wherever you go.

All in all, it is at least worth a shot if you love music more than anything else, so download 8tracks radio for Windows 8.1 right now to see what it's up to.
