Boy, you rock and roll junkies don't realize just how easy you have it.

Try filling your empeg with classical music and see if you can come up with such a nice, neat, elegant way of cataloguing your music.

Do you arrange the music by Composer? Then how about sub-genres that cross composer boundaries: Concerto, Symphony, Sonata, Overture, etc. Well, maybe those sub-genres under each composer, then? Now, how do I deal with the fact that any symphony is going to have four tracks, so each symphony has to be its own playlist? (OK, I know -- Beethoven's Pastoral symphony has five movements, not four, but you get the idea...) How do I name the tracks in the ID3 tags? Can't just say "Symphony #5, 3rd Movement" -- is it Beethoven's symphony, Tchaikovsky, maybe Dvorak? If I'm playing tracks in random order, there's no way to tell. Then there's all the short works that don't fall into ready categories, like a Hungarian Dance by Brahms, or a Beethoven minuet. How do I identify orchestras, conductors, soloists, composers, and sub-genres, when all I have to work with is a couple of fields called (uselessly) "Artist" and "Album".

My head hurts. I'm going to go away now. Maybe I'll just start listening to Rock and Roll instead.
