// ]]>Michael Robertson of MP3.com and MP3Tunes isn’t phased by a little legal trouble, he’s launched a new app called 6 Seconds. The free app lets users search all online radio streams for the specific song they want. It provides unlimited skips by skipping around to different Internet radio stations.

8tracks has signed direct licensing deals with INgrooves, CD Baby, Dim Mak, and DashGo. 8tracks plans on signing deals with more indie labels and is working on agreements with the majors. Prior to this 8tracks relied on track uploads and SoundCloud.
