    <content type="html">&lt;p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Welcome to my nightmare.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Every music database in the world indexes classical recordings by composer, basically because the physical record had to go in one place in the store. There is no reason for us to follow this model&amp;mdash;except that our main data source, MusicBrainz, still uses it.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;We will be changing this at some point, but I couldn&amp;rsquo;t tell you when. Do you have a specific use case or application that this is blocking? That would affect our priority.&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;/p&gt;</content>

    <content type="html">&lt;p&gt;It seems odd to have entries for albums and tracks recorded for a classical composer.&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp; Shouldn't the musical artist in this case be the conductor, symphony or other performers (analogous to songs and albums recorded by someone like the Rolling Stones)?&lt;/p&gt;</content>
