I think what both Scott and Joe are referring to are "audio albums". We aren't talking about "video albums" or "multimedia albums". We should concentrate on solving the audio album problem. > I don't think we would want to nest > hVideo and hImage inside hAudio would we? No, but we may want to nest hAudio, hVideo and hImage inside a hMedia container. >> I was also confused by that.

The purpose of haudio is to describe information related to audio recordings. > example > > halbum > haudio [album title,contributor,image-summary, duration, payment] > > maybe you do have a point though in the context of just an album > description hAudio becomes a little redundant as this is indeed nothing > that is Audio just a description of audio maybe this is better: > > halbum > summary [album title,contributor,image-summary, duration, payment] > > this would fit into our schemata much more cleanly, Manu did use > <summary> in his original problem solution statement The reason 'summary' was included in halbum is because the audio-info-examples demonstrate that we need a way to specify album name, artist, publish date, cover image, sample links and a variety of other things related to both albums and tracks. It makes sense to just use haudio to describe those things because the haudio proposal already contains all that information. -- manu _______________________________________________ microformats-new mailing list [email protected] http://microformats.org/mailman/listinfo/microformats-new
