22tracks: Ad-Free Music Streaming with Mood-Based Playlists

Discover ad-free music streaming with 22tracks, featuring genre-specific playlists curated by music experts to match your desired atmosphere and mood.

What is 22tracks?

22tracks is an ad-free music streaming platform that focuses on curating high-quality playlists to match specific moods or activities. It sets itself apart from other services by not relying on algorithms or user data to generate playlists, but instead uses real music experts and DJs to handpick tracks.

Upon signing up, users fill out a brief survey selecting their favorite music genres and moods. 22tracks then builds customized playlists of about 22 tracks to evoke each mood. Playlists come in categories like Chillout, Workout, Party, Romance, Energize, and more. The service refreshes with new playlists across genres daily.

While 22tracks may not have as extensive a catalog as Spotify or Apple Music, its playlists focus on depth rather than breadth. They offer a more human-curated listening experience compared to algorithmic playlists. With no ads and a simple, intuitive interface focused just on playlists, 22tracks tries to recapture the magic of listening to a great mixtape.

22tracks is available via Web and mobile apps. While it used to be a paid subscription service, in recent years it has shifted to an ad-supported free model. Additional features are available via a premium subscription, including enhanced sound quality, offline listening, and unlimited track skips.
