I agree that the Artist/Album/Track hierarchy just doesn't cut it for
classical music.  After filing and finding LPs and LPs since the late
60s, I knew that I wanted to file music on my computer using both the
Composer and the Performer (Artist).  My normal selection sequence for
classical music is

Genre->Composer->Work->Artist (and if necessary, reissue version).

So what should I do?  Should I settle for finding some kludge to fit
tags into the Artist/Album/Track mold or should I find a way to do
things my way?  I looked until I found ripping/tag editing and playback
tools that fit me.  That narrowed my choice a lot but it wasn't
hopeless.  I did have to specify tag values yourself.  With a
reasonable compromise, I've got a decent solution on the iPod too.

It feels great to do things my way!  I recommend that anyone who wants
to store a sizable collection of classical music on a PC hold out for a
good solution rather than a kludge.
