OK, you are right, getting tags right for classical music is a royal 
PITA and keeping them right when you go to MP3 is even more of a pita if 
such a thing is possible.

I believe that it may be impossible to get the tags right, which is why 
we need a database. But this gets into a bigger issue, as the current 
database is treated as if it can always be rebuilt from the tags. I am 
not convinced that is a good decision, but haven't had time to create a 
patch to tell the SlimServer to "do not trash criticial
fields which can't be rebuilt from tags, just manage the
songs and albums and music side of things"

The complexity of classical music begs for a real database so you can do 
things like check who is the conductor on this Beethoven's Ninth, or how 
is the solo violin....
