    I'm working on a discography type just like here: http://www.berndbegemann.de/disko/hoelle.php3

    It would be nice to somehow attach n review-types to 1 cd-type. So that I can add a new review and simply choose from a dropdown where to add it. Is this already possible?

    Sorry, I don't get it exactly ...

    I have just implemented full PN-Hooks compatibility, which enables comments. Would that solve it?

    No not really - because than comments won't be possible anymore ;-)

    No the reviews aren't done by users but collected by me from magazines and the internet.

    The site is the fan-site of a German musician. There is a section with all his CDs. When you click on the name of a CD you get to the page I try to do with pagesetter. Theses Pages consists of 4 parts: General Info (Title, date of publication, lable, amazon-buy-link), Tracklist (see othere thread), reviews (from magazines aso) and user-comments.

    I could simply use one big text-field to include all the reviews, but then why should I at all use other fields - I could only take one an put everything into it. That doesn't seem to be the sense of pagesetter. I'd like to have 2 publication tapes: General Info and Reviews
    I should be able to add several reviews to one general info so that they are all attached one under another.

    The reviews problem here is more or less like your "tracklist" problem - you want a one-to-many relation between a base item and a set of sub-items.

    So, yes, in your case pagesetter doesn't help much compared to any other general purpose page editor (except that you get a templating system).

    But still - you have the four general info fields. You would not be able to ensure correct formatting (as well as input of) those fields without Pagesetter. In a general purpose editor you would rely on being able to remember the exact formatting for every new instance. This would be even more usable in a setup with many submitters.
