Internal Virgin IDs. 391 is the ID for the Steve Miller Band; E148 is actually the audio filename on the playout system (those IDs can also be around 15 characters, which means this track is coming off CD). Importantly, these are network-wide (so '391' is Steve Miller Band whether we play it on Virgin Radio, Virgin Radio Classic Rock, Virgin Radio Xtreme, etc.) - which is, what I suspect, you're thinking of sorting for the Beeb. -- http://james.cridland.net/
