it'd be cool if MBs system worked where you apply the artists to the album, and then when doing track ARs, it would produce a drop down list from artists ARed to the album for selection to that track. or even if it were the other direction where you add artists tracks ARs to get them to appear on the albums relationship list. either way, the work should only have to be done once. the system should do the work of track/album AR consitancy for us. i don't like the idea of it somehow parsing the album AR data from the band data (i think i read an RFE for that in trac) as this information and their roles are not always consistent. > b) only if they are guest performers / are the line-up for a project or > solo-album of an artist. > > 2.
