I was for a while working with library software, on what was called the "FRBR" model - a four-level hierarchical abstraction model for literary works.
The top level is what FRBR calls the work. It is really a quite abstract concept that is like the "idea" or "story". In music, it might be like the motifs, phrases, themes and movements.
A work may be realized as e.g. a novel, a play, a movie, or in other forms. FRBR calls this an expression of the work. In music, different arrangements would be different expressions: A piano solo is a different expression from an orchestral version. A concert version is different from a scene musical.
When a specific manuscript (in the book world) is published, possibly adding comments, figures etc. for this specific edition, or score (in the music world) is recorded as interpreted by a group of artists, you create different manifestations of that expression.
For library use, the fourth level, the item, is one specific copy of that book. In a digital music world, you may choose to let the fourth level represent different renditions of the same recording, e.g. your vinyl copy, CD copy and off-the-air recording (e.g. with commentaries added by musical experts) - I chose to to that, although it breaks somewhat with the book library of an "item", where all items are, in principle, identical copies.
It takes without saying that in FRBR model development, there were intense discussions about the number of abstraction levels (varying from 2 to 7) and whether they be fixed or arbitrary (like in a file system). I am quite happy with FRBR ending up at four fixed levels, and I think it serves classification of music recordings well (with my private modification that the item level identifies not a physical copy of a manifestation, but a specific physical representation format of a given manifestation).
I have used this model for organizing my own music archive - not just recordings, but also sheet music and scores in various representations, as well as photos/videos from specific performances (manifestations). Unfortunately, my archive system is currently far from the quality required for release to other users. Yet, I have found this hierarchical classification scheme to be very useful to manage my music archive, and will recommend to others to go for something similar - in particular if you are like me: Always eager to compare different performances / manifestations, or comparing completely different arrangements / expressions of the same work.

I use MusicBee as a music manager. While I find the UI can be challenging due to design decisions, it rips well, I can find music easily, playlists are unlimited (playlist interface is not intuitive and took getting used to), writes to stick, AND it supports every tag I can think of.
A major point for me is the differentiation between the track artist and the album artist. A lot of players (including iTunes) do not appear to understand "album artist" and tend to break up compilation albums by track artist. MusicBee allows custom sorting, so it does things my way.
In addition to Publisher, Composer, Conductor, and other standard fields, it supports 16 custom fields.

You might need to glean from multiple sources.
Classical Music Collector has already been suggested. You might also look at

or

The question mark often means it's "an example of" (rather than a synonym), but you know what Griff is like with his misdirections - it could just be nothing.

Collins has it better: Sile definition and meaning | Collins English Dictionary[^]
Quote: sile
in British English
(saɪl )
VERB
(intransitive) Northern England dialect
to pour with rain
Word origin
probably from Old Norse; compare Swedish and Norwegian dialect sila to pass through a strainer

SILE - I am so using this "word" the next time I play scrabble. herself (journalist) will certainly challenge it and I might win a point.

Hello all,
What are the things that one might want to consider when requesting your own domain ?
The general idea is to have my own mail address, so I can replace my provider. While we are at it, maybe I will have email addresses for the whole family...
What are the pits and palls ?
How much money does it cost ?
Can I have my domain for good ? Or do I have to pay for it on a yearly basis ?
Thanks

Would you be master of it?
|
|
|
|

Thanks,
I am not sure what does it mean.
What does a "master" do ?
|
|
|

It's what a master doesn't do that counts.

He was making a "joke" There is a catchphrase "master of your domain" that he was referring to. Please don't google what it means though

When I was at the University, a few years ago (well OK quite a few but never mind) I did a course in technical writing. One of the main points of one lesson was being very careful when using common expressions as you would throw a curve ball at someone who knew not what a curve ball was. I feel this was such a moment.
For those still in the 1950s and refusing to watch any US based media a curve-ball is a baseball term for a ball thrown with spin which curves in the air and so confuses the person trying to hit it. Its became US slang for something which confuses, especially something new that looks straightforward but causes complete failure. In recent years its become much more commonly used so its not just those funny Americans who know it, but still the point is good.
Master of Your Domain is, obviously, not so well known - which killed the Joke Not all lost though I laughed at it

Might be fun to have a few of those idioms from other languages. Either in that tongue or translated.
There is a Korean phrase that translates to: "its as easy as laying down eating cake".
I have no idea how it is written. And probably would not enunciate it correctly aurally.

LOL. The sure way to insure that someone googles something is to tell them not to. I'm a perfect example.

Whatever the domain you want is, it's already gone. Once you find a domain your biggest risk is that someone else will buy the same domain with a different suffix and impersonate you, so if yours is zmau.com (don't bother checking, it's already gone) then someone might buy zmau.net or zmau.org etc, so when buying the domain you might want to consider buying as many suffix options as you think reasonable.
Beyond that it's pretty cheap and straight-forward, $10 to $20 a year on average. You can't buy it outright, you need to renew it every year, or every three if available.
