It’s coming along very nicely. The APIs I’m building into Connections to support this is already infinitely extensible; no exaggerating.
I’d say I’m about half done and the APIs will be in the next release; 0.8. Keep in mind this will still require a bit a PHP coding to add a custom field and then display it in the template. I haven’t quite worked out the user interface stuff or how it’ll be packaged. At the very least when 0.8 drops, I’ll post a howto on how to add custom fields by dropping some code in the theme’s functions.php file and how to edit the templates to show the custom fields that were added.
Currently, there is built in support for about a dozen different fields types and I will be adding another dozen, roughly. This will just be the core fields, a dev could add extend the API to support any type of field imaginable…
So, when you say music related fields, what would those be? Could you describe what those fields would be and what you would enter?
