Then you run it through your library and Wow!: Everything its all tagged consistently, complete, correct, reflects local language (I search for Wagner and not for Richard), keeps the Album as central piece etc. ( I spend a lot of time to do it by my self).

Agreed. I never search for composers or artists by first name either. First names are not used in academic publications either (try to find papers on "Richard" when you are looking for analyses of Wagner's works).
Additional templates defaulting to last names would be highly appropriate.
--- Quote ---- Better integration and tagging of concerts e.g specific for classical music (you don't have all the audio fields for concerts (video))
--- End quote ---
Yes! A given piece of music may be available, e.g., as a studio recording on CD, a DVD of a concert or opera performance, a bootleg tape as a FLAC file, a digitized vinyl record, etc. Although a recording centric view historically was required due to player technology, today a more work centric perspective would be preferable (for me), e.g. I often want to browse for a given composition, chose an ensemble or performer, maybe pick a certain recording, and listen to whatever format I have in my collection.
Consistency of tagging across media formats would support this much better.

1/3 Audio, 1/3 Video, 1/3 everything
1/3 Average, 1/3 Above Average, 1/3 brilliant
95% men
80% older than 40, most with a little spare cash
Maybe 1/2 come with good technical skills, some great.
1 in 20 don't want to read or search or ask a question on the forum, creating some friction and discontent on both sides.

Thanks for the breakdown Jim. Pretty much aligns with my assumptions

This one is an insane ask IMO.
Classical tagging is very difficult and if you want it somewhat automated with metadata... oof.
From what I've been doing, the logic I've settled on is in an ideal world, you get your 'work', your 'performance' of said work (and the performance as a whole), and then a work represented by a performance may only be a portion of said work (I guess you could broadly call it a movement but that's not really the correct terminology) so you need to handle that (being able to go 'up' to the parent work is essential). You want to be able to 'find' the different performances of a work, whether it's the complete work or just a section (and obviously, you want to be able to find those sections too)

By all means make some personal requests but don't claim to represent the majority of the user base when doing so.
I find every years upgrades useful and recently there have been many significant improvements especially in the area of video playback.

I understand and share his point of view. While all the little technical things do make the program more complete, other aspects have been neglected. The visual department, look and feel, skinning, visualizers. Product documentation/help files.

Totally agree! For my German friends, "Ich bin kein Fachidiot".
Make the program more COLORFUL, ATTRACTIVE TO THE EYE!
