Europe
Capsule Review:
Import music specialists. Not a conventional referral program; sounds like
a lot of effort, but at least you don't need visitors, just time and patience
-- lots of it!
Payout: $0.10 per valid track listing sent in by email
(this is complicated, so read the explanation on the site carefully); this
can be spent on merchandise from the store.
Help: N/A
Rating: 
Return: Not strictly a referral program; $0.10 per listing
you send to them
