When + present perfect
I know that 'when' cannot be used with present perfect
ex) When have you met him? (X)
ex) When did you meet him? (OK)
But, in the paragraph, 'when you have listened to' is used.
I think 'when you listened to' is appropriate, but I don't know why the writer used that structure.
When can a conjunction 'when' be used with a present perfect ??
Plus, I'd like to know why the write used 'when' and 'present perfect' together in that sentence.
