Insert composer's name in composer field. 2. Insert orchestra/ensemble name in Band/Orchestra/Album Artist field. 4. Insert conductor's name in conducter field (For the hell of it.) 5. I leave the Artist tag empty unless the piece is performed by an individual or there is a soloist (i.e. piano music). 6. Instruct SlimServer to include composers in Browse by Artist.
