Yes. For new rips of classical music, this is a tiny overhead given the amount of time I take to get the rest of the tags right! For each piece (or for a whole CD if all the pieces are similar) simply select the tracks in mp3tag and type in a genre string. Done! My record so far, I think, is 6 values on one piece... Of course, I'd already ripped most of my music when I decided to go down this route so I did have to retrofit it. It wasn't as bad as you might think: mp3tag will allow you select whole chunks of tracks so you can do them in big batches. And the ones where I had to stop and think about it were very interesting: I found myself listening to bits of tracks I hadn't heard for ages, and looking up composers and pieces in wiki or allmusic.com for more information. It took a weekend and was worth every minute!
