Classical Music Support

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

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 most out of 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 roster of known composer names, for use in the Edit Tracks window. You can edit this composer roster and add the names that are missing, along with their birth, death, and homeland. This allows you to filter and browse by classical period (it matches their "productive" years - 20 to death - to an editable list of periods) and their homeland (country of birth).

You can also edit which genres you want to be assumed as classical.
