create 1 page or 1000 pages
Permalink
on my siite i have a music category with artists and their songs. is it best to create a page for artist, then create a page for each song underneath the artist and have the artist page show a playlist. or is it better to create one page called artist, and one page called songs and use attributes and groups. What would you suggest is the simplest and easily updatable way to do this. one page is easier to update rather than 1000. i have public profile turned on, but only admins can add pages. would like for the artist to be able to edit their artist page tho.
are you still planning to create a business directory addonn?
I am considering creating a business directory addon, although it isn't priority right now.
If I were hired to build it, then I could complete it sooner. But for now, it may be many months away (unless someone else creates one before then).

Another addon you may find gives ideas is hereNTs page manager:

Also, for editing, if you can parameterise everything an artist may want to edit, you could make them user attributes of the artists. Then write content that shows those attributes with my Magic Data addon.

Also consider treating the songs as products and the artists as product groups and they may map into something that could be managed through eCommerce.
None of the above are complete solutions, just some ideas that may play a part in whatever you end up doing.

You could use those to do some of what you're talking about here.
