What Does a Music Rater Do?
Listen to a track. Listen some more until you have a draw a conclusion about it. Then submit your opinion.
If you’re an avid listener and have a good ear companies will throw you a few quid to borrow your ears. You won’t be able to buy anything 24 Carat like Bruno Mars from doing it, but if you’re constantly listening to music you might as well get paid for it.
