I made a statement that is correct in the vast majority of cases. You pointing out one or two exceptions doesn't alter the validity of my statement. > If you aren't willing to acknowledge the logic of my posts > or even to acknowledge what you wrote, just drop it. There *is* no logic to your posts. You're not wrong - it's just your viewpoint. I disagree with you. You are obviously on the ideological side of the argument. Fine. Good luck to you. > Most of the people contributing to this thread are looking for a > practical way to make things work better for them.

The only viable way to make classical music work with most players on the market today is to work within the limitations of the Track/Album/Artist paradigm. You may not like it, but that's the reality. > You said earlier that you don't browse but search. If you don't need > any of this, leave it to the rest of us. Believe me, I'd like nothing more than a better way of handling classical music, but I firmly believe that stepping outside Track/Album/Artist is a waste of time because that excludes >99% of music players. Once again, I don't think you're wrong, I just think that they only viable way to progress this is to adapt the existing system.
