Like you, most of my music collection is classical.
Some people put the composer as the artist, though I've always baulked
at doing that. (To me Artist should be the name(s) of the
performer(s).)
In 7.7.3, in Setting/My Music you can select to include Composer in

If you are using WiFi it be that your problem is due to poor signal

A 44.1/16 wave file has a bit rate of 1,411kbps. FLAC, of course,
losslessly compresses that, usually reducing the file size to 40-60% of
the original. So the bit rate you are quoting is par for the course and
there is nothing at all to worry about. (The actual FLAC bitrate will
vary throughout

This issue very much depends on the kind of music you listen to, e.g. in
classical music volume normalisation is a really very, very bad idea.

If you really want to do this, on the Web interface, go to

The biggest thing you can do (IMO) is NOT to use the volume

By the way, LMS 7.7.2 allows you to set two separate media folders. I
