Thanks Nikki I think a whitelist would be the most sensible option.
I wasn't imagining that YouTube and MySpace would be appropriate, mainly as they have their own URL relationships already. And they're not quite streaming services in the sense I was thinking. Last FM was one of those, but now they've got rid of full track streaming on demand I don't think they'd fit either! Those link phrases look absolutely fine. Thanks. I'm (obviously) quite happy for you to do the shoehorning for the template, but let me know if you change your mind or if you need anything else.

I get the feeling that people will try to link to YouTube videos, Last.fm and MySpace using this relationship. What's your thoughts on that? Are they ok or should they be excluded? The relationship needs link phrases for us to use on the site. For artists I'd suggest <artist> music can be streamed for free at <URL> <URL> is a free music streaming page for <artist> Then for releases and tracks I'd suggest: <release/track> can be streamed for free at <URL> <URL> is a free music streaming page for <release/track> Are they ok? The last thing is that we need to shoehorn the information on the page that we need into the template we use for relationship pages [1] so that we've got a page that will be part of the documentation. I can try doing that though with the answers to the above questions if you want.
