Muso is one of the few musical management solutions which has dedicated support for classical music.

Track attributes for composer, orchestra (ensemble), conductor and performer make it easy to distinguish multiple versions of the same work. In order to get the best from muso, some effort may be required in getting the embedded tags right before importing into muso, or by editing these attributes within the muso database, since few CD ripping packages set all the tags properly.

You should in particular try to standardise the names of composers, but if editing the database in muso, it can help with this since it contains a large (editable) roster of known composer names, for use in the Edit Tracks window.

Specialised behaviour for classical music is turned on via the Classical tab under Options - this forces the Composer tag to be used in preference to Artist, and also allows separate Classical & Non-Classical modes via buttons on the toolbar.
