Is the custom tags you use understood and used by any other software
except for LMS ? Which one ?
Is there any integration with online sources in any tagging tools to set
the custom tags semi automatically or is it something you need to set
completely manually yourself ?

I’m asking because if the tags are only used by LMS it might actually be
preferred to store them in a database or similar instead of storing them
in the tags. Storing them in a database would make it a lot simpler to
build a managing app that could make it a lot easier to categorize your
library. Could be a separate app from LMS developed in a modern
programming language and integrated with a small Perl plugin. Kind of
similar to what we tried to do with Social Music Discovery
(socialmucicdiscovery.org) a long time ago.

You might be right but unless classical lovers can agree on something it
also means that when my plugins stops working (which eventually is going
to happen) you don’t have a working system at all to browse you music.
Or is there any competing system that’s able to use and browse your
classical library using your custom tags ?
It’s probably easier to attract the interest of a developer now when
this community is still alive than wait a few years until my plugins
have stopped working even more people have moved on to something else.

I completely understand if you personally don’t want to invest
significant time into it. I’m posting this in the forum in the hope to
wake up other people with similar interest, hopefully there is someone
out there with time and interest to do something about the situation. I
wish I could do something myself because it is an interesting challenge
but unfortunately my family situation doesn’t allow it right now. It
would probably also be preferred if it was done by someone interested in
classical music and not by someone like me who owns about 10 classical
albums. I selected the path to make something very configurable because
that could be used for other things too since I didn’t really have much
use for a dedicated classical music plugin myself.
