Right now I have to choose if it's a solo work or not. Depending on that
choice RECORDING will be created. I don't think it would be very
difficult to mash everything in one algorithm.

The album tag is crucial. Take any "artist focused" disc, like Callas
arias. Every track has a different composer, there's more often than not
no complete work to find. WORK here is "Extracts". If I want to listen
to that disc, I have to find that disc. There's no work to be found
here.

And it's both WORK and RECORDING that is important. You cannot mash them
together. You need both to identify, well, a recording: Hélène Grimaud
(1996) pretty sure is a good choice, but what is it? That's what I'm
saying: These two are the crucial tags to browse classical music. More
tags might be fun, but these are essential (in addition to already
supported tags like composer, genre etc., obviously)

As for the library IDs. If I click "Clear library and rescan everything"
the IDs change (they shift) and the CB menus are empty and I have to
create them all over again. That's why I always wipe the cache. Maybe
something changed and this problem is gone now. I could give it a try
this weekend.
