How? Badly. I love the large catalog of classical music, but being unable to browse it in a unified way is a pain in the ass. They blame it on the publisher-provided metadata, but it's not all the publisher's fault.

In the iPhone app you cannot read the whole track name, so Imagine finding a certain piece when all you see is:

  Felix Mendelssohn: Violin Conc...
  Felix Mendelssohn: Violin Conc...
  Felix Mendelssohn: Violin Conc...
  Felix Mendelssohn: Violin Conc...
  Felix Mendelssohn: Violin Conc...
  Felix Mendelssohn: Violin Conc...
On iTunes, pressing and holding over a song shows the complete track label. They seem to be trapped in a featuritis loop, giving no priority to feature polish.
