I would like to make a lot of different pages or posts (it doesn't matter to me), each dedicated to a musician. On each will be a mini-bio and other stuff, but the problem I'm having is finding a plugin that could display a directory of them all. I was looking for something alphabetical organized sort of like this: http://www.nme.com/artists
Is there any way I could do this? Any help would be GREATLY appreciated. Thanks!

how would that help?
From my notes:
User author based plugins and info:
http://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/dmsguestbook/
http://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/user-photo/
http://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/profile-pic/ Use the shortcodes [printprofile] and / or [printprofilepic]
http://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/wp-authors/
http://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/extended-profile/
http://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/author-exposed/
http://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/author-avatars/
http://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/list-authors-plus/ - offers template tag to sort by post count, exclude roles, exclude user id, exclude user name.
http://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/addauthor/ inside the loop, a gravatar of the author of the post, the description of the author of the post, the nick of the author of the post and the date of the post.
http://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/wordpress-users/ - Display your WordPress users and their profiles in an index on your site.

...are there any other ways to list a lot of posts/pages without having to make the musicians user accounts?
If you don't want them to be users, the just create a Page for each musician, then use something like the Pages Widget to provide a list of those Pages.

I don't want that though. My question is about how I can create a viewable, alphabetized directory of those pages. If I made a simple list on a widget, not only would it be hard to scroll through the list of a hundred different artists, but it would look terrible.
Just an idea here, but maybe you could use the DS blog map plugin and create categories for each author to file their stuff under.

I think that could work! Thank you so much for your help!
