      http://musicbrainz.org/ws/2/recording/?query=%E9%9D%A9%E5%91%BD%E3%83%87%E3%83%A5%E3%82%A2%E3%83%AA%E3%82%BA%E3%83%A0+AND+artist:%E6%B0%B4%E6%A8%B9%E5%A5%88%E3%80%85%C3%97T.M.Revolution

      This gives:
      recording
      -release-list
      --release
      ---medium-list
      ----medium
      -----track-list
      ------track
      -------number
      -------title
      -------length

      Shouldn't "position" also be returned under "track"? "track" isn't consistent with "medium", which does return "position".

      I understand "position" to be a key, while "number" is the value.

      Because "position" is missing, I'm forced to run a 2nd query http://musicbrainz.org/ws/2/release/f2bdc153-6af0-41b0-856b-5a9a0d29e8a3?inc=artists+recordings

      ------------------------------------------

      Here's a better example on why the missing track "position" matters:
      http://musicbrainz.org/ws/2/release/fb43c246-5cf8-4bf3-b5a9-a09707950750?inc=recordings

      Position - "Number"
      1 - "A1"
      2 - "A2"
      3 - "B1"
      4 - "B2"

      When browsing Recordings, I would only have access to "B2", not "4".

      ------------------------------------------

      ...or am I supposed to assume that the "offset" attribute of a track-list tells me the position? Because if so, this breaks when a Recording shows up multiple times on a medium:

      Should be 2 tracks:
      http://musicbrainz.org/ws/2/release/f0bbe257-0a15-4a7a-b841-403d6cb63f4e?inc=recordings

      But the first track is lost:
      http://musicbrainz.org/ws/2/recording/ff8289e0-1a38-4e91-8278-95e4931b4aec?inc=releases+mediums

      ( http://tickets.musicbrainz.org/browse/MBS-6918 won't let me create a tracklist on the beta server so I'm testing at http://musicbrainz.org/release/f0bbe257-0a15-4a7a-b841-403d6cb63f4e )
