That may be fine for someone who just wants to mark up some tracks
they like
on a personal blog ... but an artist or record store may want to be
able to
say who composed it, who performed it, who did studio production, who
remixed it, who a guest instumentalist was, what label released it, and
maybe even who distibutes it and want to be able to distinguish between
them.
Oh but you can...
<div class="haudio">
<span class="album">Screamadelica</span>
<span class="contributor vcard">
<span class="role">Artist</span> -
<span class="fn org">Primal Scream</span>
</span>
1) that's not the model referred to in "Why doesn't the following work
for you, then?", above.
2) Where is the evidence, in examples like that quoted at the top if
this post, that people publish terms like "Artist" when referring to
the key creator?
From looking at a selection of ten online music shops and databases the
'key creator' is always implied by association. How about removing the
'contributor' class from the key creator's vcard? It would make sense to
me to group contributors separately to the creator. The vcard attached
to the hAudio would denote the original creator.
For cover tracks you'd have something like:
<span class="contributor vcard">
<span class="role">Original Artist</span> -
<span class="fn org">Primal Scream</span>
</span>
