New shiny slice the pie thread

it varies really, i usually try and devote 2 hours a day to it regardless. but with the quality of the rubbish .. i mean songs .. in 24/7 at the moment, i find it easier to manage if i split up my scouting into little chunks - hour here, hour there and try and do about 20-30 songs a time.

although with the accuracy being all over the place at the moment, i'm finding it slightly less stressful to concentrate on acheiving a fixed sum for each session, rather than a fixed number of songs.

AHAH, yeah Ive not ahad a good song for agesss. I tipped two artists yesterday but thats all. Doubt il tip any today, its all crappy rap at the moment. Ive made about £2 today so far

it used to be that any rap track was automatically rated a 5, but i'm finding that it's slid down to 4 now - if you rate most of the rap tracks a 4 then you're not punished that badly.

which is a shame for me since i do like a lot of rap.

Are you saving for anything in particular?

jasonwatkins

i'm not, no. well at the moment you could probably argue i am as i want to get a few bits out of maplins to upgrade my PC before the offer ends on christmas eve, but on the whole I use the money to cover my virgin and mobile bills month to month, and i find that works well for me.

it's allowed me to add sky sports to my cable package for one, so i'm loving all the extra footie i can watch

I think its a lot easier to get money from STP when you have something to aim for. After ive made the £100 for my overdraft I want to go on a big shopping spree hehe so I want so save up loads for that before Jan. (I have nothing else to do before I go back to uni lol)

I like rap, so its probably a good job I havent had much of it.

Right, done £5 for now, going to have a bit of a break then do the other £5 later.. and maybe more if I can be bothered ha

My stupid computer at work has developed a fault where even when I've got the headphones plugged in, it plays out of the speakers! Bloody typical, just when I wanted to get some scouting done. WAiting for IT to fix it, but it's scuppered me for today.

it's very scary at the moment as i'm trying a 20 song session without looking at the accuracy or stars .. :eek:

i figured that i'd been caned so much over the past few days it might as well be worth a try.

i started off on 92.25% accuracy and 4 stars - we'll see what happens in 6 songs' time
