Q: How can I get composers of classical music on iPad ?

Before last iTunes update, I had deleted on my iMac all composers but classical music ones, in order to be able to easily choose by classical composer on my iPad. That worked perfectly.

Since last iTunes update, what I get on my iPad when choosing Composers is the list of all composers, whatever the type of music.

How can I get a choice by composer for classical music ?

iMac, Mac OS X (10.7.5)

    Make a smart playlist with only classical music in it, and you can deal within that playlist.

    Thanks for this answer, but within the playlist, tracks are sorted by artist and not by composer, which provides no help

    To choose among a large classical music albums collection, you need to sort by composer, them album, then track.

    Before last update, it was possible to do so on an iPad, but not now.

    JBP,

     

    I just tried on the iPhone (which presumably works like the iPad), and do not see a way.
