A concrete FBR implementation at not truly but something starting to look a bit like scale (80K sound recordings, 105K scores) is one of the most important goals of the Variations/FRBR project at Indiana. Stay tuned - we should have a first beta search system for folks to look at really soon now! I couldn't agree more the only way we're going to move forward at this point is to really put this thing into practice.
