The problem with your solution is that this creates entries that don't
represent the work. For example, I'd click on "Il barbiere di Siviglia"
and get a hundred result, most of them* are that Figaro's aria. (* If'd
tag a whole opera "opera" and an extracted aria "aria", then I'd get
different results depending on the menu path: COMPOSER - WORK -
RECORDING will show these extracts, while GENRE - COMPOSER - WORK -
RECORDING will not. That's bad, too, we want consistent results.) In
other words, I don't recommend this approach for larger (or any, really)
libraries.

Yes. But it's always more than just some variant of ARTIST. It's always
ARTIST + YEAR. Or even venue. That's why I prefer RECORDING. It can
distinguish without being bend beyond the scope of it's name. WORK
ARTIST cannot be Karajan 1960 (technically it can, of course. But it
shouldn't.) RECORDING can. And it's called recording anyway, so why
invent another name.
But of course, in the end, it doesn't really matter how it's named as
it's not visible anyway.

That's the situation now with Multi Library, Custom Browse, and Custom
Scan. If you don't have this problem I envy you :D . Maybe it's my
setup...

I see why you would want to limit it to just WORK. But no, sorry.
There's no standard that defines a work. Take Lieder (Songs) for
example. There may be up to 40 works on a disc. Not extracts, but works.
Please ask if I was being unclear. I know I can be. But both tags are
needed.

Ah, yes, Multi Library. But if I wipe the cache each time I do a rescan
and add (=rename) the libraries' xmls one by one, it works great.
The only other problem with Multi Library is that libraries with umlauts
in it (like "Hörbücher") won't open in default LMS skin ("404 Not Found:
player=00:04:20:xx:xx:xx). That started somewhere around 7.9.2. I think
I mentioned this somewhere here, but as it works with Material, it
doesn't affect me most of the time.
