With classical music, many people simply abandon the notion of an
'album' or CD in its physical form and organize their music by work
instead. For use in Squeezebox Server, the key is to use the ALBUM tag
for the musical work instead of the album/CD name.
As far as directory structure is concerned, it shouldn't be as
important for Squeezebox Server, but if you need to browse the folders
in something like Windows Explorer, you might give some thought to the
organization.
Code:
--------------------
This directory structure is simplest, but would rely solely on tagging to
be organized within Squeezebox Server.
/classical
../album
../../track
The following would completely break up physical albums, organizing the
files by composer and work. It's more work, as you have to move the
folders around yourself after you've ripped a CD. It would also make
finding all tracks on an album more difficult, such as if you decided to
re-rip a CD.
/composer
../work
../../track
Or you might use this directory structure, which would leave the album,
but the works by each composer would be spread around many different
albums.
/classical
../album
../../composer: work
../../../track
