For me, an Aria is part of a WORK - it's a MOVEMENT, and the GENRE is for the WORK as a whole (I can imagine wanting a sub-sub-genre of ARIA, but I've never done that). My library isn't trivial (nearly 32,000 tracks).

Any MOVEMENT also has ARTISTs (TRACKARTIST). The YEAR tag gives me the recording year. > But of course, in the end, it doesn't really matter how it's named as > it's not visible anyway.

I agree that where it gets trickier is with some series of related pieces. 4 Last Songs (Strauss), or 24 preludes and fugues. 4 WORKs (each of 1 MOVEMENT), or one WORK with 4 MOVEMENTs, and so on. That's just a matter of personal preference to me, not a problem. I don't have the concept of 'extracts' that you seem to have. > Ah, yes, Multi Library.

I suspect all other Classical fans have their own ways of viewing this, as Erland suggests in another post, and that getting any form of agreement would be very hard, not least because change tagging on many thousands of tracks could be hard, and prone to error.
