It is sad, but true, that the designers of the mp3 tag system seem to have little or no knowledge/interest in Classical music -- I have ranted on this before.
However, in the v2 tags there ARE tags for "composer", "lyricist", and "conductor", among others. There are several ways to get these, neather blindingly obvious.
1) Click on "Help" at the top of the window. You will see a line:
Full ID3v1 and ID3v2 support is integrated tightly with all program functions.
where "ID3v1 and ID3v2" is a link. The linked page is interesting, but for the purposes of this note to be ignored. Instead click on "Index" in the tool-bar of the help window and type in "v2". This will find the entry for "Using special ID3v2 fields". This will take you to a list of the fields with the template items for getting to them
2) In the "Browse/Edit tags & flags" Tab check the box below the file list named "Advanced ID3v2 info" this will open a satelite window showing the non-v1 fields, some of them explicitly labeled. Among those you will find "Composer" (but not "lyricist", nor "conductor"), with a slot you can fill.
3) In any of the tabs which use templates, if you check the "Advanced mode" box, right clicking while the cursor is in the template window will bring up a menu of tagging items [O mighty creator, what is the correct name for these things with "<" and ">" start and end characters?] which you can select to insert into the template. Near the bottom you will see "Advanced v2 fields" which will bring up a secondary menu listing them all.
I have to admit to a total inability to make the <V2_TXXX> tag work, but that is probably due to some excessive bone between the ears.
I hope this addresses your problem. If not, it may be of some use anyway.
