The "Related artists" info is already linked in a DB, but the DB is at Allmusic.com, so the lists of similar, influenced by and followed are coming from there. Not sure that there's any need to embed additional information in the LMS DB in order to use it as a launching point. Really just needs a way to browse to those artists' entries in the existing DB with the resulting display nested under the current MAI display to maintain context. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ get.amped's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=10022 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=99537 _______________________________________________ plugins mailing list plugins@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/plugins
