Bug Description

Binary package hint: rhythmbox

Rhythmbox does not support composer id3 tags - searching, sorting or organizing. These are critically important for classical music. Searching for a composer's name only retrieves those entries for which the name appears in the supported fields: name, artist, album, genre. This is almost completely useless. For example, if I search for "Bach" I get back about a dozen pieces of the 500 or so in my library.
