The browse by tags option seems like a good start for browsing my
classical music collection.

Some thoughts:
- I would need to filter out anything but classical works (from GENRE)
- I wouldn't use standard Albums/Artists/Album menu entries
- using custom tags, it makes little sense being offered a top level
option for browsing by opus or work, since they are composer-oriented
- IIRC, that was the point making the XML editing needed, but I
shouldn't be presented - for example - a Conductor sublevel when
there's only one conductor defined there (too many levels)

Well, I have no problem browsing my jazz music collection using the
standard Squeezebox menus: I can already access albums by artists
(soloists) or by band, and I don't need much more.
The piece on the cake would be the ability to browse by band type
(quartet, quintet, etc) or by used instruments, but it wouldn't be as
nice as having a way to access covers when you're listening to one
song.
