I always select music at the time, never choosing random play.  I also
never use playlists or ratings.  I normally use the web interface, 95%
of the time.  Where my CDs have multiple pieces (classical), I separate
them into 'albums' that are each one full piece.

I use browse artist for pop, and I'm totally happy with that; I only
have about 300 pop albums.  However, classical (the majority of my
listening) is more cumbersome.  I use genres that have the period
(baroque/modern etc), scale (chamber, orchestral etc), type (concerto,
symphony, quartet), but this only gets me part of the way there.

What I would like is a system like the way www.dabs.com works (!):

- I choose symphony, and it gives me the choice of selecting submenus
(or filters), for example Composer, Period, Orchestra and Conductor,
but also gives me the view of albums that fit my selection

I'd like a choice of whether to show albums or tracks (I'd always use
albums, but others may not)

The problem is that I don't think there is enough info in MP3 tags for
this.  I have multiple values in genre tags, but it doesn't know
whether this tag is a period or whatever.  I'm sure we could get around
this, though.

So that's what would do it for me :)
