The web-based MusicBrainz database contains information about 300.000 artists, 400.000 albums and 6 million tracks in RDF format. It is commonly used by desktop applications to find information about music files on a local hard drive. We demonstrate an extension of this scenario in which up-to-date news about a song's artists is retrieved from XML news feeds and displayed within an HTML file, while the user is listening to the song. This task can be achieved in a particularly convenient manner using a versatile query language such as Xcerpt.

It also illustrates one of the directions for future research on Xcerpt: increasing ease and efficiency of RDF querying with Xcerpt with particular emphasize on chaining and specifics of RDF such as blank nodes.
