How can I build a collection of artists and list the songs for each artist if artist is an attribute of a song. I can after all do song.artist, but I cannot access song from the artist: artist.song.

<Artist><Song><Song>class Song
{
	List<Artist> artists;
	// various other attributes
}

class Artist
{
	String name;
	List<Song> songs;
	//various other attributes
}

class SongList
{
	List<Song> songs;
}

</Song></Song></Artist>
