Right. I wasn't suggesting *not* using a nested object, just changing 
the format slightly:

{
     "file_id": "gr_1999-01-11_the-path-to-god",
	"file_size": null,
	"file_type": null,
	"format": null,
	"formats": {
		"mp3": {
			"filename": "gr_1999-01-11_the-path-to-god.mp3",
			"isbn": null,
			"item_format_id": 1009,
			"item_id": 1217,
			"sale_date": null,
			"url": null
		},
		"pdf": {
			"filename": "this_is_my_filename.pdf",
			"isbn": null,
			"item_format_id": 1009,
			"item_id": 1217,
			"sale_date": null,
			"url": null
		}
	},
	"framesize": null,
	"genre": null
}

That way you pick out the information from the array as

aLiveCodeArray["formats"]["mp3"]["filename"]
