You need to start by recognising that none of this stuff was designed with classical music in mind. That done, you can move on to solving your problem: its not too hard and you don't have to throw away any information. If "Artist" is the main search field you are going to use (and Slimserver makes that a natural thing to do) then just make sure that Artist always contains the data you are going to want to search on. For classical music that's usually the composer, for non-classical its usually the performer/band. So let iTunes fill in the Composer and Band tags, and let it fill in Artist with whatever it will. Then, for Classical music, simply ensure that the Band/Performer tags have the right data in, and copy Composer to Artist. You can set up a very simple action script in mp3tag, for example, to automate this. This might be a little extra work, but it is probably insignificant compared to the work you are doing anyway (should be doing!!) to fix the rubbishy information that is always downloaded for classical albums...
