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 Artists, this will then bring up the composer (as well as other artists) when you search on artist. In 7.9 it seems to do this by default. Also in 7.9 there is an option to browse by composer. However, this option is currently flawed as it brings up a list of albums in composer order, instead of the (much more useful) list of composer names. Even as it is there is a bug if there is more than one composer for an album. Early on in my ripping I decided to adopt the following: To make each piece an album (rather than having a CD as an album). To name each album (which is now a single work) as: <composer> - <piece> - <main performer(s)> e.g. Album: Britten - Violin Concerto - Vengerov, LSO, Rostropovich By doing this I can search for the composer in albums and it will bring up a list of works, all neatly in alphabetical order. (Afterwords I learnt that this album naming format is not uncommon for classical collections using LMS/Squeezebox.)
