That makes sense , classical pre-dates recording so the format does not really fit the CD or LP there always seems to be some "filler" work attached to a classical CD . If I where more into this music I would split the CD and abuse "album" for a "work" like a symphony or some such piece . I must confess that tagging classical is beyond me . There are something about it in our wiki and several other classical listeners here . -------------------------------------------------------------------- Main hifi: Touch + CIA PS +MeridianG68J MeridianHD621 MeridianG98DH 2 x MeridianDSP5200 MeridianDSP5200HC 2 xMeridianDSP3100 +Rel Stadium 3 sub.
