Welp that's a big bummer about 8tracks :'(. So much fandom and internet history about to be lost. Hi-key though, thanks about posting/reblogging about it - I wouldnt have had a clue and wouldve been too late to save my playlists from years ago.
God, I’m really fucked up about it, like emotionally/psychologically.
Even the stuff I have been able to save, and there’s just not enough that I’ve been able to save, is so mangled.
The tracklists that don’t contain any tags or cover art. The spotify playlists that are missing 2/3 or more of the tracks.
I’ve saved roughly 750 track lists and successfully exported about 200 (incomplete) playlists to spotify, but that’s… that’s a fraction of a fraction of a percent of the content.
There’s always more to find.
There are 95 fandomstuck playlists on 8tracks. I only JUST remembered to check for a fandomstuck tag, and now the text file and spotify buttons have disappeared so I can’t get to them.
I’ve been on the knife’s edge of a panic attack for days now.
But I can’t even begin to imagine how hard it’s going to hit on New Year’s Day when I realize it’s gone, anything we couldn’t save is just gone.
5 days notice and no tools.
I hate this.
God, fuck, I hate this so much.
