In the case of manufactured "bands" I would say that all involved are employed and have Job Titles... as do professional musicians maybe. > It can be either, but as far as > hAudio is concerned I would say "role" is most appropriate. Thoughts? I agree Roles are more important than their job titles as the two may not be related or have any context in the making of a piece of audio. I think the problem with the above is quite often in audio roles and job titles are quite often the same.. Manu explained the differences quite nicley to me.. A role is "what you do", where a title is "what your official title is at the organization". Role is hardly ever used in hcard in the "real world",and as a result not much info, I think maybe more information about "role" can be added to the hAudio wiki, perhaps even some good recommendations?
