As I said before, ask the artists for the tracks.
I know we're on dodgy territory as Mike hasn't been asked for permission in most cases (Finale excepted) but I think it's only courtesy to ask them to make sure it's ok to put their work on your compilation and, if the link's broken, it may be that they've taken the file down because they no longer want to distribute it.
This goes even more so for playing it in your store, as legally speaking, that's public broadcasting (it's also a commercial environment...you could find yourself on extremely dodgy ground if anyone took offence to your using their work, as it goes beyond the personal use for which the musicians here are making their work available).
I'm not trying to stand in your way, but I am trying to avoid upset and conflict.
You can contact members by private message if they're still active here, or you can send them email by using the email link at the bottom of their posts.
Better still, why don't we use this topic, or open another, to ask who'd like to be included? You might find that people will do something special for you, and you could also find that when asked, people will provide you with a better quality file than that available for download (which may have be of lower quality due to space/bandwidth constraints).
Cooperation is definitely the way to go if you ask me .
