Sample listens needed for Cauldron Artist voting

Hey, @halloweenradio.
So I wanted to suggest that all new songs simmering in the Cauldron should each be equipped with a 15/30 second sample-listening button. (Or at least a link to the song's Spotify page, etc.)

I've tried clicking on the song titles on the main Cauldron page, or going to each individual artist profile page, but there doesn't seem to be a sample-play option anywhere. Without it, the whole voting process seems pretty ineffective. You can't vote for songs you can't hear.

And yeah, you can tune into the actual Cauldron station - but with over 60 artists to choose from, who has time to sit and wait and listen to them all? (Not to mention afterward remembering to go back and vote for specific artists.)

If the Cauldron voting/ranking system is to be fair, then people need to be able to sample the songs first. Otherwise, you'll just get artists (and their fans) voting for themselves without listening to any other aritsts.

Just my two gruesome pennies.
