moOde implements a commonly used tag scheme for popular music and has some support for tags used in classical music but classical music tagging and organization varies widely depending on the how the user wants to organize their collection.
There have been suggestions to implement user selectable tags, sorts, grouping, columns and so on but this would entail creating a new music library back-end and UI from scratch and so its a no-go for me.
Candidly, I got "work" added to MPD's repertoire so I could play with files I've already populated and see what I could do with them in moOde. I totally get that the implementation of a more database-like user interface in moOde is a huge undertaking so you won't hear me complaining.
Until MP3 came about and people started exchanging digital music outside the confines of the studio and production facilities there was no call for metadata. If you were lucky, an LP would include a good set of liner notes.
