I agree. Tagging Classical Music is not so easy.

If, however, all you want to do is play a compilation (a disc) there is no problem: you flip through the database by Album and click play. In some softwares you can simply click on the Album Art, which is how you recognise a CD when looking along the shelf or in the CD cabinet.
If you want a particular track in a compilation you have to remember which CD it is on if you are going the spin the disc, at least if the CD is ripped you have sort sort of electronic search, even if it is not ideal.
Internet Radio? Yes some fabulous stations out there. There are many ways to access them. Squeezebox does it silently, and without a fuss.
You could buy an Apple Airport Express (£80?) and run iTunes on the MacBook. You would need some sort of remote control. If you had an iPhone that could control iTunes on the study MacBook.
Whatever you use the quality is determined by the DAC - the one in the Airport Express is not great, but it has an optical out, if you are running another DAC.
