On the general issues around classical music see http://wiki.slimdevices.com/index.cgi?BeginnersGuideToClassical and many threads in this forum.
For your specific question - separate files or single file plus cue - IMHO the separate file route is the way to go. I use all separate files anyway, because: - it seemed more intuitive! (not a good reason I know) - better chance of being able to use the same files with a very wide range of players - just occasionally slimserver has thrown up some bugs which were unique to the cue file option All of which has nothing particular to do with "classical", of course. However for Classical I'd add an extra reason: one of the continuing dilemmas with Classical music is how you group tracks (movements?) into albums. I and many others choose not to assume that ALBUM = CD, but retag instead so that ALBUM = WORK. On most CDs this is easy enough - it contains say a couple of symphonies, you split the CD into two "Albums". But sometimes the CD has a lot of smaller works, or even worse a mix of longer and shorter ones. In this case I want MAXIMUM capability to change my mind about how these are grouped and tagged, and I think I get this by using separate files throughout. IMHO.
