# Permalink rewriting, take two.

 * Hi. I’m quite new to WordPress, but have been doing fine – until I tried to accomplish
   the following permalink structure for my music website:
    - **t_bands** – a custom taxonomy, of which individual bands are terms.
    - **p_bands** – a custom post type containing descriptions, photos, etc. of 
      bands.
    - **p_songs** – a custom post type containing lyrics, chords, etc. to a song.
 *  - [http://www.example.com/song-archive/](http://www.example.com/song-archive/)–
      a custom landing page (e.g. news about bands, recently added songs, etc.).
      It could actually be a page, or it could be the archive-***.php for ‘t_bands’
      or ‘p_songs’ – it doesn’t matter.
    - [http://www.example.com/song-archive/bandname](http://www.example.com/song-archive/bandname)–
      a list of all songs (p_songs) tagged with that band (t_bands).
    - [http://www.example.com/song-archive/bandname/songname](http://www.example.com/song-archive/bandname/songname)–
      a page about the individual song (p_songs).
    - [http://www.example.com/encyclopedia/bandname](http://www.example.com/encyclopedia/bandname)–
      a page about the individual band (p_bands).
    - **Extra case:**
    - [http://www.example.com/news/bandname](http://www.example.com/news/bandname)–
      news about the band, tagged using the same t_bands taxonomy. There would also
      be at least one more – [http://www.example.com/events/bandname](http://www.example.com/events/bandname).
      News and events, would, of course, be yet another couple of custom post types.
 * Quite convoluted, eh?
 * As an extra, I need to “connect” **t_bands** and **p_bands**. For example, [http://www.example.com/song-archive/bandname](http://www.example.com/song-archive/bandname)
   would pull some info from the corresponding post in **p_bands**, and [http://www.example.com/encyclopedia/bandname](http://www.example.com/encyclopedia/bandname)
   would link to some random songs tagged with that band. Would it suffice to just
   use the same slug, or is this too hackish and unreliable?
 * Please help – I’m at a complete loss here.
