I like that.  I ended up doing:

array = []

title = 't1'
name = 'n1'
songs = ['s1', 's2']
array.append([title,name,songs])
title = 't2'
name = 'n2'
songs = ['s3', 's4']
array.append([title,name,songs])

Thank you and the other posters for the help.

Must learn not to think in c/c++. Python is much easier - no malloc's 
and pointers to fuss with :-)
