anyone else here really fucking hate tagging classical music? if you're a sperg about tags like i am, you probably do too. pic related is usually how i go about things:
[Work title] in [scale if available], [opus number if available]: [roman numeral of piece number followed by a dot] [piece name if available]
but look at this shit:
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Transcendental_%C3%89tudes

Transcendental Étude No. 3 in F Major: Paysage?

yea i was just thinking about doing something like that

Honestly, I don't listen to more classical music because it's so hard find and research good downloads, it's impossible to tag, and finding 'album art' for it is a bitch. It's not worth the effort.

as a naxosfag I relate to this so hard it hurts
One of the things that prevent me to scrobbling classical is tagging issues.

i like the method i use in the OP pic but yeah sometimes it's a total bitch cuz some composers are assholes and don't attach opus numbers to their shit or they don't say what scale the work or piece is in REEEEE
just listen to the music you autists
put the album artist as the composer and the artist as either the conductor or performer so you can easily find what you're looking for and leave it at that
I don't know if it's feasible to have strict tag rules for classical that would work every time. Sometimes titles exist in several languages (like Mussorgsky's Pictures at an Exhibition — hell, even his name is up to debate: should it be Modest Mussorgsky, Modest Petrovich Mussorgsky, Moдecт Пeтpoвич Mycopгcкий?), sometimes there are tempo indications and sometimes not, people seem to have different rules, sometimes works have both Op. numbers and other catalog systems...
Music players and ID3 tags seem to have been designed without even the possibility of listening to classical in mind though, it's baffling that we can't even include year of composition and year of performance for instance.

Don't worry about that, it's a mess anyway — one of many things last.fm fails at, though it's the most excusable one.

Heh, I do the exact opposite.
