I don't follow this at all. I /might/ understand what you're saying if I replace 'recording' with 'song', is that what you're meaning? I think it's extremely important to keep the terminology consistent when discussing this, otherwise noone will know what anyone is talking about. A band can't play a recording live, that's a contradiction (or playback).

If there is a way to do it without completely maiming the track titles and people would be just too lazy to do it, then that would really piss me off. //[bnw] _______________________________________________ Musicbrainz-style mailing list Musicbrainz-style@lists.musicbrainz.org http://lists.musicbrainz.org/mailman/listinfo/musicbrainz-style
