* AFAICT nowhere does it say what exactly all the <code><nowiki>?inc</nowiki></code> options do.

If these have already been defined, then a pointer to that definition would be helpful. |

* For a release, how can one retrieve the release artist, all the tracks and all the track artists in one call? I have been making one call for the release (&inc=artist+tracks) but this does not return the artist for each track. So, I make a call for each track (&inc=artist). Per http://wiki.musicbrainz.org/XML_Web_Service#Limiting_Connections_to_the_MusicBrainz_Web_Service, I wait a second between each call. This takes a long time! --[[User:Rossetyler|rossetyler]] |

** When the track artist is the same as the release artist, the track artist is not present/repeated.

Discussion
- How does this web service deal with special characters? For example Mýa or Adèle. I have tried both URLEncoding and XMLEncoding but without any luck.
- When using
?name=...
it says it retrieves resources with a matching name (or title). What kind of "matching"? - How exactly does
?duration=...
work - does it support range or fuzzy matching for example? - If multiple filter arguments are given, how do they combine? Is it allowed to repeat a filter argument (e.g.
?artist=X&artist=Y
) ? - AFAICT nowhere does it say what exactly all the
?inc
options do. I can guess most of them, in a vague sort of way, but for example is?inc=artist-rel
artist releases or artist relationships (or something else)? If these have already been defined, then a pointer to that definition would be helpful. - Are there any plans on adding release lookup by EAN / UPC code? Would be a very nice feature for media libraries to get more information about audio CDs. --BrainDamaged

- How can I retrieve the tracks of the second disc of an album via the web service? I have the discId, but I can not retrieve the related tracks, or is there a way to do this?
