>> In particular, it’s completely f...ing useless on classical music. Almost every bit of music cataloguing software seems to be CFU for classical. It's built around the "album of tracks" model, without any notion of subgroupings (like a filesystem with no subdirectories), or a notion of multiple performers involved. Now that being said, cataloguing classical recordings is a pain. The least worst way seems to be by ensemble type, for most "reasonable" collections that gets you most of the way. Not to say other genres aren't, just that you often have dumb things that hinder discoverability, eg., the 'filler' piece that screws up the obvious one place to file the disc. There's a reason why librarianship is a discipline.
