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. erland wrote: > Is album critical for browsing classical music or would it make sense to > use ALBUM tag to represent the recording, so for a mixed composer/work > release you would use multiple ALBUM tags ?

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.
