I understand what you say - however the schema I use works perfectly and
has the added bonus of clearly displaying the composer name when
browsing by album without accessing any other tags. Of course, it all
goes out of the window if a search on album title returns everything in
random order - whi
I agree with Mnyb.
Also, *if* your "album" tag *is always* in the format " :
" you could even automate the process with mp3tag. Whether you
would want to do this is another matter, but I am just giving an example
of what is possible and no doubt there are even better ways of doing the
same job.
Composer is a standard tag if an app don't uses it it's does not cause
anything , you may not want to change the other tags but adding a
composer tag should be easy .

Thanks for the advice. If I was starting again, I would do exactly as

OK - there is presumably a reason that this was implemented but it is a
big problem for me.
In order to keep my classical music tagged effectively without using too

I understand that the search process itself might have changed, but does
that preclude the selection of a particular display order for the
returned results?

For the details Michael will have to respond but essentially the search
process is changed. It uses a full text search across all fields in your
library and then has a ranking algorithm for the search results while in
the past it was e.g only search in the album title field for album
searches.

Hi Pippin - thanks for replying so swiftly.
Firstly I should thank you for iPeng which is indispensable to me.
However, I don't understand your comment. I did notice reference to
'full text search' in the scanner progress messages - could you
