While I agree that  the many hours I've spent on tagging my classicla
music the way I want it are a substantial investment that I would not
want to throw away ... I don't agree that it has in any way locked me
into the SS model. 

Quite the reverse: my files are in FLAC, cleanly tagged in a way that
makes sense to me.  If I ever want to switch to a different system that
required different tags names to work properly, I am confident that I
would be able to tell mp3tag to do a batch convert to move things
around.  If I couldn't use FLAC, I would be able to re-encode to a
different lossless format.

I've got into the habit now of using several tags (eg Conductor,
Composer, Band, Performer) that SS uses very poorly indeed, but I can
get the information out on the screen and thats ok for now.

I use the Custom Scan and MusicInfoSCR plugins - I've played with
CustomBrowse but its not yet part of my normal usage.

YMMV
