Thanks to both of you. The question of normalization was one thing I was 
considering, I just wasn't sure how it should be done. A separate table 
with Artist ID and Artist Name fields could be useful. Would it be good to 
make an equivalent table for the songs, or should the songs simply be 
listed individually in the main table? I assume the dates and times have to 
be individual entries each time.

However, while reading the Wikipedia page on normalization, I noticed that 
some of the examples of a normalized table actually lists people's names as 
separate entries in the table. Of course, the alternative was some kind of 
nested tables, that looked messy, so perhaps the separate listings were the 
first step toward normalization, the next step being multiple tables with 
IDs for the names?

Thanks.
