Slicethepie

So recently I came across this website where you review music. You make a couple cents for each review, nothing huge, but it's pretty cool to get to listen to some music and make a couple bucks to give your input about it. I figured since this is a rhythm gaming site and most people here are super into music and even make their own (this site is good for submitting your stuff as well) that I'd share it with you guys.

If you have free time and are usually looking around for music anyway, you should check this site out.



Edit: I feel like I should elaborate on this a little more. Basically when you sign up you select what genres of music interest you and the site will start giving you tracks to review. You have to listen to at least 90 seconds of the song before submitting your review, but you can be typing it as you're listening. You'll also give the song a rating from 1 to 10. Depending on how good your review is you'll make anywhere from 0.02 to 0.20. So far I've been getting 0.18 to 0.20 for almost every review I've done.

Re: Slicethepie

Is there a limit on how many reviews you can give in a day?

Do your reviews have to be about what you liked about the song, or how to make it better(as in do you have to have music making knowledge to give any good reviews)

There is an energy bar that if you run out you can't review for a little while. But I've been going one right after another for a while and haven't run out. And it doesn't take long to refill either.

Either really. I don't have any extensive music knowledge and I've been pulling in at the top end for reviews. I think they're more so looking for what people want to hear on the radio but if people can help make the song better as well that's good. From what I've seen you can earn extra bonuses sometimes if your review was particularly helpful.


I just kinda figure what the hell, it's not one of those sites that tries to get money up front from you or something to "work" for them. So worst case if you try it and don't like it or don't feel it's worth it, you really don't lose anything but maybe a few minutes of your time.

Re: Slicethepie

Just did my first review, and it actually is pretty cool and fun.

Im wondering how they decide how much you get per review though without having a real person look at each one... Because if it's going by review length couldnt I just spam a bunch and get 20 cents per review?

^_^ Yea I thought this was a pretty cool idea too. Even if there weren't pay I think I'd still do it cause it's kinda neat listening to some new stuff and giving feedback on it.

It has an algorithm to it actually haha. It picks up on length of the review and certain words you use and whatnot. And someone does check into reviews because they have been known to block accounts for doing things like you mentioned. There will be times where you'll get a message when you try to submit a review that will tell you that it's not good for one reason or another and ask you to try again.

Re: Slicethepie

I just noticed the catch lol...

you gotta gain at least $10 before doing anything, which is going to be like over 100 reviews for most people x3

Re: Slicethepie

This is awesome. Really awesome.

And unlike other services like this the music doesn't suck really bad.

I've done 25 reviews so far and I have $3.68. I did say that it wasn't a lot haha, but it's a couple extra bucks in my pocket when I'm bored and have nothing to do. I can understand the $10 thing cause there's really not much point to releasing funds before then. I was a guide on chacha for a while and you make like 0.12 per question answered and you can't get your money till you hit $150 and it has to be by the 15th of the month, otherwise you're waiting till the next month.

This is awesome. Really awesome.

Yea I was actually surprised at the overall quality of the songs here. But there are some that are just terrible x.x

Re: Slicethepie

That site sucked. I signed up like 3 months ago. I got up to 5$ and then got banned.

Re: Slicethepie

I just had a song with a very nice electronic intro, and Im thinking it was about to be good... then all of a sudden it turns into 2 minutes of a terrible "who let the dogs out" remix.... lol

Anyways. 4 reviews done and 29 cents made.

Im rolling in the Lincolns baby

Omg I had that one too haha. I was like what the hell is this shit. I think I rated it a 1.

Sorry that you had a bad experience, but so far so good on this end here.

Re: Slicethepie

I rated it a 3, just because I would have liked it if it was just the background lol.

Oh right, cause doing something enjoyable and making a few extra bucks on the side is something terrible right? Never said this was a job and I clearly stated you didn't get a lot for it, but I thought it was something cool that people on this site would enjoy doing.


For those who are trying this, try to make sure you comment on things like harmonies, vocals, lyrics, etc. The system picks up on that stuff and will give you a better payout (or should anyway.)

Re: Slicethepie

I just started.
I'm actually quite surprised that most of the music on here is stuff that actually deserves to be appreciated more. But what Kayla has stated is true, the system tends to be quite finicky about how you rate the songs and what they want you to include in your response. It would be something that would get rather annoying fast, but I guess you could also adapt to it as well...

90 seconds before rating a song is ridiculous, because it usually takes me until the end of the song to give it a rating because it's so good imo.

EDIT:
One question, I've been noticing in profiles its been stating bronze, silver, gold, etc as payout amounts as a bare minimum. Anyone know how to increase this? Is it like an overtime thing, or do you have to be reviewed by someone, or what?
