[mb-users] Quick idea... "stub" releases

[Oliver Charles]

Hmmm, possibly - but that's sounds like a fair rational to introduce a
"save progress" button or whatever. I suppose we could expand stubs to
start out with no tracks at all, then people can add tracks as they
wish and finally "publish" the data. Though this might be
over-complicating the simple concept I was aiming for.
