I really like slicethepie.com for many reasons. The site offers listeners (referred to as scouts on the site) a cash incentive to review music.
There's a place to write your review. When you're finished writing the review you rate the song on a scale of 1-10. It seems that if your number score is on average with the other reviews you will receive a higher payout.
On average I receive a range of .06 to .20 per review. I like to write out the review while listening. By the time the song is over my review is written and complete.
Overall, I find that when I have the time for it I can make more money "slicing the pie" than using mTurk or another micro job program.
In any case it's enjoyable; you get paid for listening to music and giving your input. I keep a notepad to make notes of the song that I really enjoyed if they're not listed as Anonymous.
The cash-out minimum is $10, so when I hit the ten dollar mark I cashed out and in about 3 days the money was directed to my PayPal account. The site states that it could possibly take up to 5 days to approve your reviews.
I try to be objective. I won't trash a song just because it's not of my favorite genre. I find it important to comment on a variety of musical aspects: intro, the vocalist, if there are harmonies or backing vocals, lyrics, instruments used, mood and tone, and the overall production.
If you're a music lover it's worth checking it out.
