Lossless codec @ 24bit X 9600kHz, no DRM, and since we're talking classical here, (yeah, right), there would have to be a sufficiently large library of recordings available with *lots* of tags like composer, work, date, conductor, soloist(s), ensamble(s), director, producer, recording engineer(s), recording dates, recording location, program notes, etc. all properly uni[en]code[d]. (Hey, I can wish, can't I?) By sufficiently large I mean 50,000+ CDs worth (because tower.com/classical alone has more classical entries than that). I don't see it ever happening in the near future.
