Composer is not an artist?

[Nutul]

To my taste (I listen a lot to classical music), I'm still waiting (from MPD) for a 4th "composers" column.

In the meantime, I've added (classic) composer names at the start of each album name, it's the best way I've found to easily navigate through my library.

Hi,

although I perfectly understand what you are trying to achieve, in terms of sorting and/or filtering, why in hell do you mention COMPOSER?!?!?
The composer is, ehm... the composer, that is: Bach, Beethoven, Mozart, Puccini, and the like... you wanted to say director? performer?
Then it's perfectly understandable that two different orchestras / ensembles / directors play Beethoven's 5th...

Just my 2c in pursuit of understanding this struggle with classical music, which I do not encounter. And yes, I do have different interpretations of the same classical pièce, and I differentiate them writing the details (again: orchestra / director / performer) in the comment tag.
