Actually, MP3Tag makes it very straightforward to apply a single tag value to dozens or even hundreds of selected files at one go. If you are using MP3Tag and would like help, please ask again about this.

Yes I have discovered that - and have just retagged all my Beach Boys (some 800 plus tracks) as Rock/Pop in a matter of minutes.

I can only say what I do (and there are, as ever, alternatives). I set the dBpoweramp Path to the Composer folder (which in your example would be "Music\Classical\Beethoven" in my case). Naming is then set to "[album]\[track] [title]". I do not use either Artist or AlbumArtist in the path or the naming scheme, but all my classical albums are 'filed' by composer name, except for Recitals and Compilations, for which there are separate folders.
...

That would work, but I then I would need to remember to keep changing the path when I rip a non-classical CD. I don't want my Beach Boys going into a subdirectory called "Asher, Tony".

Personally, I like having the Artist field filled in with the various singers etcetera. This will allow me to find all the "albums" on which, for example, John Tomlinson appears. That could be rather jolly!
