No, I don't.  But I do need to be able to search my files so I can find
(eg) Beethoven's 9th symphony conducted by von Karajan as opposed to the
other recording I have.  I need to be able to pull out Elgar's Cello
Concerto with a specific soloist.  And so on.  It's easier to write apps
to do this if there are appropriate fields available, so I can distinguish
between conductors/composers/soloists with the same name.
