I would think a server-side database would be most appropriate for this. The
potential amount of information may be several hundred megabytes, while the
information to be presented to the viewer in the browser is only a few
kilobytes, or a bit more if images or sound clips are included. That's why I
had suggested PHP and an SQLite (or MySQL) database on the server.

Here is a website page that is similar to what richard is doing:
http://www.oldies.com/artist/browse.cfm/decade_1960.html

It appears that this is organized with a separate web page for each decade
and/or the starting letter of the artist, and finally presented as
individual web pages for each artist. Since the website for just Roy Acuff,
for example, is 2173 lines of HTML with a lot of excess blank lines, I think
these web pages may be generated dynamically, rather than static. Here's
that example:
http://www.oldies.com/artist-view/Roy-Acuff.html

This particular site is especially amazing for its ability to show songs and
artists from decades far in the future.
http://www.oldies.com/artist/browse.cfm/decade_2430.html
http://www.oldies.com/artist/browse.cfm/decade_5350.html

Kind of like Zager and Evans' "In The Year 2525"! (and not in the oldies
list above)
