As you may already know, the long-term solution for this is supposed to be the ZODB BLOB support. <a href="http://dev.plone.org/plone/ticket/6805" rel="nofollow noreferrer">Ticket 6805</a> is probably the most authorative source on this. Unfortunately, the milestone is set to 4.0, and running it in production on an older release is perhaps not a good solution. There has, historically, existed a lot of Plone products for storing files externally, keeping only metadata in the ZODB. I have tried several of them, and from my experience, there is not a single one that works well with current Plone/Zope releases. Don't trust me on this, though, I have not tried any products of this type the last year or so. Personally, I would go for a solution that is as simple as possible and doesn't involve Plone more than neccesary. Storing the music files on disk, serving them directly from apache/whatever web server you use, keeping only metadata in Plone - in a product you write yourself, will give you a robust solution with good performance. That is, your product should produce links to a path on your web server where the music files are available. If you require authorization for download of the music files and assuming that you run lighthttpd or apache in front of your Zope, looking at a solution based on X-sendfile is probably the best option. With X-sendfile, you keep the files on disk, and add a header (X-sendfile) to the response when a music file should be sent to the client browser. The web server will pick this header up and send the file to the client, without Plone being involved.

A row detail

Detail views are divided into sections. All the information in the data section comes from columns in the selected row. The other sections display data from other, related rows.

Related data can be related in a to-one or a to-many fashion. Captions of data related in a to-many fashion link to a list view showing a filtered view of the table.

Try moving around until you find a non-empty to-many entry and click on the label to get to one. You can move back to the root by clicking on the database name in the header.
