Whats a good tagging scheme for classical music?
Tags are simple for e.g. pop music - all I want to know is track/album/artist, and my iPod displays that perfectly (and I can browse perfectly too).
For classical music it's more compilcated, because there are 4 things to know - composer, artist (ie which orchestra), album name and track. I might have more than 1 version of a particular piece.
What do you good people recommend as a tagging scheme?

do you use a mac? well, wait, you must not be, because if you did, you wouldn't have to ask that question. :)
itunes has full support for that kind of thing. it's really the best mp3 program there is, bar none. it's 50% of the reason i bought a mac. now i'm so enamored with OS X, i will never go back.
can i have a switch commercial or something? :D

Well I am a very simple guy. I ripped a few cds last night with classical music and I just put the composer in as artists, as album I fill in the Opus/Symphony/Overture etc and as title the name of the part. I don't enter the year nor the track#. As I said I am a simple guy and I don't really care which artist and/or orchestra played the piece nor in what year and I don't have multiple versions of the same piece [performed by different people].
F.e.: Beethoven - Violin Concerto D major Op.61 - Rondo.mp3
That's how my mp3 looks like and I only filled in those 3 pieces of info as my ID3 V2 tag [plus the genre Classical of course] in order to have the composer info shown on my display.
