XSL is easy if you make a little change to the XML: enclose the artist's name in a <name> tag:
Code:
<artist><name>3 Doors Down</name>
<song>Changes</song>
<song>Not Enough</song>
Code:
<xsl:template match="/">
<html>
<body>
<xsl:apply-templates />
</body>
</html>
</xsl:template>
<xsl:template match="artist">
<h3><xsl:value-of select="name" /></h3>
<ul>
<xsl:apply-templates select="song" />
</ul>
</xsl:template>
<xsl:template match="song">
<li><xsl:copy /></li>
</xsl:template>

I recommend mySQL and PHP...
But that depends on your data. If it is really tree-like and you don't need fast indexed lookup then go for XML.

Then database of course. And use what you're most familiar with - for me that would be PHP and MySQL, but if you don't know those you can use Access and ASP/ASP.Net too.

How do you use Java? As applet, as CGI, as JSP?

Top menu works fine for me in Mozilla.
But note that the song titles are very hard to read. The black-on-red and red-on-black alternate makes my eyes tired.
