It might be possible to extend browsing paths to do what you want by adding the ability to define a browsing path for 'Genre=Classical/Composer/Work' or something along these lines. Can you say more about the differences you have in mind?

To use your terminology, I only see the requirement for two 'browsing paths' to meet my needs, one for classical music and one for non-classical. Since the distinction between classical and non-classical logically belongs in the Genre tag, that would seem to be the appropriate trigger for automatically selecting the correct browsing path.

When I want to play classical music, I want to make my selection as follows:

Composer > Work > Artist (but only if multiple recordings exist) > Full track listing of work

When I want to play non-classical music, my preferred selection process would be:

Artist > Album > Full track listing of album
