I believe the problem here is that our data model does not apply to this kind of music. I don't know hip hop at all, but am I wrong in guessing that here, work = recording? If so, maybe we could set up a special link (maybe a special AR) to express this. -- Frederic Da Vitoria (davitof) Membre de l'April - « promouvoir et défendre le logiciel libre » - http://www.april.org
