Ok. I'm going to quickly have 1000+ album pages, so I have to do something
automatic... MusicBrainz doesn't seem like an option for that.

We can act as MusicBrainz ourselves, giving IDs to our tracks, right ?

Your XSPF thing looks interesting, I couldn't find any relevant info on
the wiki for this subject though. Could you give me an example of tags +
rdf that would work with this system ?

Thanks !
