I've started hacking up my TOS Box tracks. I noticed when I went through the first twelve discs on my road trip that it was hard to tell sometimes what episode I was listening to and if I was listening to a library cue or what. (Mostly a season 2 / 3 problem because of how it's arranged.)
Now I'm using the episode as album and I'm including the library cues / alternates etc at the end of each with a note in the track title - eg. "Zap the Spaceship (Charlie X S2 Library cond. Courage)"
The goal is that when a track comes up on my iPod I should be able to identify what the episode is, who the composer is, and if it's a library, alternate, what have you.
Not sure if I'm going to give the episodes with one or two tracks their own album. I guess it doesn't hurt and their mostly things I won't listen to much anyway. (The Apple, Wolf in the Fold for examples.)
The last touch I'm considering is what to do with the Main and End Titles. I'm leaning towards putting a copy on each album (episode). If I leave it as is then I have titles on about every third or fourth episode. I could group them all into their own album. That would make them easy to find, but I'd never listen to them that way.
In a truly first world problem I'm debating just opening each album with titles or putting them after the teaser music when appropriate. I'll end the main takes with the Closing Titles and the Desilu / Paramount IDs and then go into library / alt / outtake / sound FX / whatever.
What I have discovered by doing this is how distinctive Courage's conducting is where he conducts Steiner's and Fried's music. He definitely takes it a shade darker. Which is impressive on Ruk Attacks.
Six months on and I'm still loving this set.

Other Tallguy, I generally put the scores into episode albums on iTunes. Except in the case of really short scores like PATTERNS OF FORCE, THE OMEGA GLORY, etc., where I leave them with the additional cue roundups from their respective season.
As to complete naming for ID on iPod purposes, I used the track names and reel/slate numbers that were released earlier in this thread by La-La Land. And I am never at a loss for what's playing. A caveat: add the conductor and/or arranger for maximum completeness.
Yours in Trekdom,

Has everyone seen this detergent commercial that used music from "Amok Time"?
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=l96aDWIbn48
Note the artful care with which the music was edited into the ad. It shows how much they respected the material.
I wonder what their source was for the music itself. I don't think they got to the master tapes that LLL ended up using years later.

I'd have to comb through this lengthy and aged thread, but I believe that someone (Lukas?) said that the singer is unknown.
Helluva recording, though. Of course I have no experience of the song outside of Star Trek.

Bishop, I don't have the answers to your question. We relied on the cue sheet ID of the classical pieces, we should have verified them with our own ears as you did. Regarding the singer for "Goodnight, Sweetheart" I don't know and I have to pick my battles as far as pushing people to research things. It occurs to me I could just make up a name and no one would know the difference though...

You know, there's another STAR TREK connection to this song - Brent Spiner sings it on his OL' YELLOW EYES IS BACK album. I doubt, although I'm of course not sure, that Brent knew the previous TREK connection. Cool!

Well...glad I sort of helped. The cue titles for the vast majority of the set were verified by yours truly from the actual composer sketches and/or orchestrations, as the cue sheets had a lot of errors that had been repeated on past albums, books, etc. (e.g. "Warp One" --> "Wrap One"). But for the Gothos source music all we had were the cue sheets.

The Source Music from "The Squire of Gothos" is identified in the booklet as "A Major Sonata" and "F Minor Sonata" (both by Domenico Scarlatti).
Yet it seems the first is actually the "Sonata in C Major, K. 159" [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-aydlQ_jCrQ].
I have the first Scarlatti piece on CD. It's performed on piano by Nelly Kokinos and identified as "Sonata in C, L. 104." The disc is Schroeder's Greatest Hits (1992).
Maybe there are two competing catalogs, as there are in astronomy (NGC vs. M), and Scarlatti's K. 159 is the same thing as L. 104. I honestly don't think Schroeder would get it wrong.

I recall that detergent commercial but I don't recall the Amok Time music being used in it (or the quote from Spock near the end)--I have a feeling that was messed with after the fact.
It was. The original ad is also on YouTube and there is no trace of this music or Spock's quote. Wouldn't they have to pay for all of this usage? Seems too expensive a proposition for a commercial that doesn't directly reference Star Trek, instead going for more vague similarities. Note also the 80's ST movie transporter sound. The music was actually pretty sloppily edited and cut off. As the kids say: FAIL!
