VK - I certainly agree that composer has much more relevance for classical CD's, and that is exactly the frustration I am facing, currently part-way through ripping an extensive classical collection.

You say that the metadata is there to be interpreted, but I fall into the camp of people who would rather not have to do that editing / interpretation myself!

If commercial metadata had The Beatles and Mahler listed in the same field, do you think a product like Sooloos could successfully differentiate these as non-classical and classical as part of the ripping process, and store the data into a database structure such as the one you describe, automatically?

This would mark a big improvement for me...
