I agree this is the perfect solution.  (I assume, however, that you
could right-click on the track in the left-hand-side browse window, not
just the "playing now" list.)  I think this feature would be widely and
greatly appreciated by classical buffs.  I am just getting started
tagging my classical collection but I am aware that there is a lot of
frustration among classical buffs at the difficulty of managing
classical music in slimserver.  It seems to me that most of the
difficulty arises from tension between organizing by CD and organizing
by Work.  The example I gave with Beethoven's 4th and 5th did not do
justice to the dilemma.  Many CD's feature a Performer, the Works
performed are not always complete, and every track is by a different
composer.  In that case, organizing by Work makes a lot less sense than
organizing by CD (or Performer).  But you want to be consistent because
there are lots of cases where it is a toss-up as to whether it is
better to organize by CD or Work.   With the solution you propose—being
able quickly find all the songs sharing the same CD or performer or ? as
a particular song—would allow one to have a consistent tagging scheme
without compromising the ease of making a sensible playlist.

The upshot---I cast a very enthusiastic vote in favor of this feature.

Thanks,
Randy
