mod_rewrite headache

| hello
I'm trying to get my URL www.com/music/foo/bar/ to map to this query string
www.com/music/index.php?query1=foo&query2=bar (for bar to exist then so must
foo but foo can exist without bar www.com/foo/bar/ is good as is
www.com/foo/ but www.com/bar/ isn't what i want).
Everything I've tried in mod_rewrite has failed so far just giving me 404
erros and sometimes 500 errors depending on the .htaccess code.
Current code I'm using
RewriteEngine On
RewriteBase /music/
RewriteRule ^/(.*)/(.*)/$ index.php%3fartist=$1&album=$2
but I have also tried numerous solutions using different quantifiers and
other such things like ([0-9]{0,3}) or ([_0-9,a-z]) etc butnothing seems
to work.
Please help

Debugging tip: use RewriteLog and RewriteLogLevel to watch what
mod_rewrite is doing; RewriteLogLevel 3 or greater should show
enough detail. Look closely at lines that say "applying pattern"
and "rewrite".

okay I think I've got it down now. My server wsn't liking the following; the
first /, the %3f (instead of an ?) and the use of the escpaed ampersand!
so my code is now
RewriteEngine On
RewriteRule ^(.*)/(.*)/$ index.php?foo=$1&bar=$2
RewriteRule ^(.*)/$ index.php?foo=$1
Thanks for your inoput Michael.
