The primary new features in this release are more data added into track responses. The new data are:
- Media info (track listings) for each release for a track
- Release "types", e.g compilation, album
- 'Composers' meaning song-writers or classical composers have been added to the track object
- The position of a track within a release (medium and track number) are identified
An example recording record now:
