I imagine the $20 is to keep artists out that are less serious, and therefore make the queue of songs to review more manageable. And to pay the folks reviewing

I imagine the $20 is to keep artists out that are less serious, and therefore make the queue of songs to review more manageable. And to pay the folks reviewing stuff so they can go in depth.
I agree pay-to-play can be sketchy, but the alternative (which I do all the time) is put my music out there for free to writer's overcrowded inboxes and hope that they take a look (which they often do not).
I put in $20 just to give it a shot. If nothing happens, no big deal.
- schlichtm 14y agoThis is exactly right.
- wavesounds 14y agoActually its exactly wrong. For a lot of real artists $20 is a BIG deal, thats dinner for the band or gas to the next gig, any real artist would never agree to this, by charging $20 your only going to get desperate bands that everyone else ignores because they suck. It takes a minute to listen to someones mp3, your kidding yourself thinking charging is going to give you better overall quality.
