    4 Stars Grab a Slice. 21/10/2008
    User recommends the product

    Advantages Advantages Some great music, money, addictive.

    Disadvantages Disadvantages Some really bad music.

    -------------- What is it? -------------- Slicethepie.com is a site dedicated to helping new bands get discovered, and also helping users of the site earn a few pounds, by listening to and rating artist's music. At heart the idea is great, and the site is really enjoyable to use. You sign up and you instantly become a "Scout". You look through various "Scout Rooms" and rate some of the music that is featured in that room. -------------- Signing Up -------------- Slicethepie.com requires no real personal information, and it only takes around 5 minutes to sign up, the process really isn't that ... more

    5 Stars slicethepie get your opinions across and influence new music 14/02/2013
    User recommends the product

    Advantages Advantages Learn about new music and earn some pennies at the same time.

    Disadvantages Disadvantages You will be reviewing every song you hear in your head when not on the computer.

    I have been a member of Slicethepie for about 5 years I think. I first noticed them after reading someone's comments about them on the moneysavingexpert web site. 'Be like Simon Cowell and become a music scout' or something like that. Well after joining up, which was simply a case of giving name and email and a password I seem to remember, I quickly discovered that this is not really like 'being Simon Cowell' in as much as you must give your own views and reflections of the music while you scout, you cant of course see the artists and so cant comment on their outer appearance . The scouting ... more

    User recommends the product

    Advantages Advantages Music, Reviews, Write Music Reviews, New Music, New musicians

    Disadvantages Disadvantages A few occassional site glitches but it all works again and site admin listen to members

    I was watching TV one evening and this site was mentionned as one of the ways to make money online and there was a short snippet by someone who had used the site and had earned a bit of money from it. I was rather intrigued because I am a music fan and the thought of getting to listen to music, new tracks and artists, write reviews on the tracks and earn a few bob doing it was interesting and I had to check it out!:) I googled the site up and I set up an account, checked the FAQs and T&Cs as you do... and I was good to go. In the first few days and months, I listened to more rock and metal ... more

    3 Stars Pie In the Sky 01/02/2013
    User doesn't recommend the product

    Advantages Advantages Interesting website design, pays straight to Paypal, the referral feature

    Disadvantages Disadvantages Really bad music as standard, can take a really long time until you can withdraw

    SliceThePie is a website based in Berkshire where musicians pay to have their music reviewed by the public. Despite being based in England they pay reviewers (i.e. us) in $$, presumably because it's cheaper than the GBP. SliceThePie has a unique site configuration where reviewers enter "the scout room" as the default page, where you can listen to music, write a review and rate it after at least 90 seconds. The review is then evaluated by a computer for words like melody, tempo, beat, rhythm, and so on and, if it decides the rating is appropriate compared to the review and that it has enough ... more

    5 Stars get your slice of the music industry 07/07/2008
    User recommends the product

    Advantages Advantages earn money

    Disadvantages Disadvantages none

    I joined slice the pie a few months ago after hearing about it from a friend. slice the pie is a music site that allows new bands to play there music on there, to submitt your music to them all you need to do is make 3 songs then submit them, it doesnt cost you anything and if your songs are good enough you could end up with £15.000 to record your song profesionally and get it in the charts. After you have submitted your music to them it will appear in the next scout room, this is where the interesting bit begins for me, once your songs are in the scout room, members of the site like me will ... more

    3 Stars may not be worth the effort 08/04/2009
    User doesn't recommend the product

    Advantages Advantages earn money just for listening and rating new music, up to 10p per track, alot of music

    Disadvantages Disadvantages must rate atleast 50 songs to earn any money, points system is strange, cannot select music genres

    slicethepie.com is a unique site that is free to join, It pays you for reviewing other people's music. These are new artists, that you can rate and invest in. If you invest, and they make it, you can even get a piece of the profits. (also if you are an artist, it's still free to join, and you can put your music on the site to be rated, and perhaps even invested in. I have not used it for this purpose however). This review will mostly be centred around 'scouting'. All you need to do is rate music on a scale of 1-10, and write a short summary, saying what you think about it. You are then paid in ... more

    4 Stars Slice of the pie but a whole lot of fun 07/05/2009
    User recommends the product

    Advantages Advantages Fun, find new music, make money,

    Disadvantages Disadvantages takes a while to get your rank up, low pay

    This is a fun site, but due to the recent popularity, it has made some changes for the worse. I have been a scout (one who rates the music) for over a year, and it really has changed a lot. The payment pyramid has decreased in value, and now if you are a 1 or 2 star scout, you receive vouchers which can only be used to finance artists. The whole idea of this website is to showcase artists that are trying to make it in the music industry. You enter a scout room where songs are played, and your job is to listen, give them a rating, and right a comment explaining the rating given. Slicethepie ... more

    4 Stars An innovative idea that pays the user! 08/08/2008
    User recommends the product

    Advantages Advantages Good scheme, easy work

    Disadvantages Disadvantages horrible songs fill the arenas, a good amount of time necessary to get good return

    The concept behind Slice The Pie is amazing. It is trumpeted around as being one of the most innovative ideas for music listeners and bands alike. Offering payment for fans to listen and give reviews to music, artists can really be exposed with their tracks to a significant number of listeners. The idea behind it is to find up to 20 deserving artists out of 1000, and award one of them $30,000 (or 15,000 pounds). That doesn't mean the other 19 won't get anything, they can sell "backstage passes" for 5 pounds a pop, which pretty much means the person who bought the pass gets a free copy of the ... more
