Welcome to music trails, here you will find an original and entretaining way to look for new music. The idea is to join artists through different relationships in order to form a network that will allow you to find what you want even when you don't know what you are looking for. Enjoy!

* Create a Network between bands and artists through their relationships (artist-band)
Search for a band, a tree with the names of the band members will appear and, under their names, the other bands they played with. Search for an artist, a tree with the bands he/she played with will appear and, under their names, the bands they played with. Keep on clicking on the bands and artists that appear to repeat the cycle and connect them (the path will show above the trees).
* Form a path made of artists or bands through the records in which they worked together (artist-discography)
Search for an artist, a tree with the albums he/she participated in will appear and, under them, the names of the other artists who participated in that album. Search for an album, a tree with the artists that play in that album will appear and, under their names, other albums in which they participated. Keep on clicking on the albums' and artists' names to connect them (the path will show above the trees).
* Find out who covered songs from a band, or which songs a band covered
Search for a band or artist, the songs they covered and their own songs which were covered by other bands will appear. As usual, you can keep on clicking to find more interesting relationships.

Well, at least the cover-song idea is new...

Also, they do *no* work. It basically scrapes MusicBrainz and accepts whatever it says. It appears to be totally automated.
