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 proposebeing able quickly find all the songs sharing the same CD or performer or ? as a particular songwould 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.
