For me in classical music the actual CD the tracks came from is very
relevant. I do tend to only play full albums (CDs) and never individual
tracks, regardless of the genre. Although I can see how the new online
music market is changing the way artists release their work, I do still
think most of them make a conscious effort to 'curate' their work into a
CD like format, which I would then like to play from beginning to end. 

I've been following this discussion with interest because I also still
use the Custom Browse and Custom Library. My main navigation is through
"shallowgenre" though:
>Genre >Subgenre >Albums  (where Genre can be Classical with subgenres
Classical Piano, Classical Bach, etc...) 

My main reason to do this is that I tend to be more visually oriented
when choosing what music to play. So rather then coming up with the name
of the work or the name of the performer I prefer scrolling through
album covers.. 

So if I decide to rework my menus using the new functionality in LMS 8
(in stead of using the plugins) it would need to include an alternative
for shallowgenre.
