==Should We Keep People on the List if they have no listen links?==

Below, in the next section, I have people removed pending seeing if anyone can come up with a listen link.

But what about people who say they have no listen links?

I've emailed a bunch of artists asking for current bio and link info. David Cubberly wrote back:

I replied:

''Thank you. I updated your listing here: https://en.xen.wiki/w/Microtonal_listening_list#C

I'd recommend you add a song or two somewhere people can listen free. SoundCloud, BandCamp, or YouTube. For the good of microtonal music (send me a link if you do), and because we may end up purging people from the Listen page if they don't have a way to listen without buying a record.

You can put stuff on YouTube with just a still image as the video. And you can upload WAVS or MP3s to SoundCloud free.''

So my question is, do we remove people like that? It is the LISTEN page.

I understand leaving them if there is no recorded music if they're important historically to microtonal music. But in this day and age, for a living artist, it's not hard to put an MP3 online. I do it about every other day.
