Wer - While working thru my Classical Music Collection I came across situations where the Same Composition were on Different Albums, which the above "Point 2" handles. But, I also came across more than 1 occurrence of the Same Composition performed by Different Artists on the Same Album, usually those 30+ CD Boxset's that MC thinks are Incomplete Albums.
So it looks like "Point 2" may need modifying to include Same Artist so that anything MC does in the background doesn't, incorrectly, end up linking the Same Composition by Different Artists on the Same Album.

Isn't there a standard somewhere in the universe already worked out for classical? I found this
https://www.dailyrindblog.com/classical-music-metadata-101/
and this
https://icmd.org/introducing-international-classical-music-database/
But it is pretty basic

No - Different record companies, and even different divisions of those companies, use different ways of presenting what we refer to as MetaData, to the consumer. Then to add to the chaos you have countless people who submit incomplete/wrong info to all those "scrapeable MetaData" web-sites.

You said it before I got there .
Lovely websites , shame the reality is far from what is described ...
EnglishTiger has it, the worst offenders ironically are the big Classical lablelsDG, Decca Philips etc (all Universal)

You could make an argument for a relational Composition field that's their rating, or just form an average rating based on the files ratings, but either are of course more clunky solutions.

Sorry, this is slightly off topic, but for albums, can it be solved by letting playlists have ratings? It is easy(?) to have a playlist for an album.
