ER diagram linking artists, artist_credits, tracks, albums, playlist_tracks, and playlists.

What it shows

  • Track credits require a many-to-many join with role and credit order tags
  • Playlist entries must use explicit floating or integer position ranks
  • Listen history decouples user session streams from catalog changes

The takeaway

Never store multiple artists in one field; use explicit junction tables with role attributes.
