I like how bands are organized by country but maybe you can have a page with all the countries listed, for easier access. if that make sense. |

I don't know if M@X intends to implement such a facility (and I agree it would be useful), but you can search for bands from a particular country - albeit less conveniently - by typing the following URL into the Address box of your Web browser: http://www.progarchives.com/Band-list.asp?country=1 where the last digit(s) are a country code, which I assume is M@X's own as it does not correspond to the UN or ISO country code standards. The above URL will list Argentinean bands in the Archives. If you replace the 1 with 199 then you will list the bands from Uzbekistan in the Archives. The country codes that I know for the bands in the Archives are listed below. Notice that country code 140 is for the 'country' Various and 210 is for the 'country' Multi-National. I assume that they were intended to be the same thing, in which case the relevant entries in the database need to be corrected.
You can enter country codes not on the above list. Try a few, in case I've missed out a country in the above list. My favourite is 9 (maybe the penguins have hidden talents). |

Various is different to Multi-National - various means lots of different artists have contributed to the record while multinational means just one band, but with different nationalities within it. If that's understandable?
