Store extra information with node reference

I want to store an extra information that is related with the relation between two content types.

The content types are
a) Service Provider
b) Ringtone

A Ringtone is provided by many service providers.
For each Service provider the code of the Ringtone is different

For ServiceProvider A, the code of the Ringtone is K98765,
for Service Provider B, the code of the Ringtone can be M98765

How can I relate this? I am planning to have a node reference from Ringtone to ServiceProvider. But it does not feel right since I cannot store the code of the Ringtone that way. Is there any other way?

This type of functionality

This type of functionality has been needed for quite some time, but it does not exist yet. The CCK gurus have been hard at work on it, and a discussion about it can be found here, which tells us that it has been added to the experimental branch of CCK 6.3, but it is not recommended for production sites.

The only suggestion that I can make is to either come up with another data structure, or write a custom module to handle it.

We all feel your pain.
