Default In preparation for "clean" URL rewrites

Now that we have an increasing number of sites linking to our content pages, there's a pressing need to finalize our URL format. My plan is to turn an address like this:

http://www.vgmdb.net/db/albums.php?id=14

Into this:
http://www.vgmdb.net/db/albums/id/14-einhander-original-soundtrack/

For listings:
http://www.vgmdb.net/db/albums/title/0-9/1/
http://www.vgmdb.net/db/albums/title/a/3/
http://www.vgmdb.net/db/albums/catalog/s/5/
...

And similarly for artist pages:

http://www.vgmdb.net/db/artists/id/294-kenichiro-fukui/


And so on. I don't plan on changing the URLs for the forums or submission pages -- only for the pages that display primary information.

There'll be 301 redirection for legacy and malformed URLs -- for example, accessing

http://www.vgmdb.net/db/albums.php?id=14

or
http://www.vgmdb.net/db/albums/id/14-gibberish-here/

will get you redirected to the proper address. This will prevent URLs from being broken whenever the album title (and the corresponding URL portion, or "slug") gets changed.


Any comments, particularly regarding the proposed URL format?
