Mark,
It sounds as if you need to do the following :-
I would create the following advanced categories:
Composer/Artist
Category/Genre
This will allow easy searching.
I would use the following fields in the products and change their labels :
Author -> Composer/ Artist
Publisher -> Publisher
ISBN -> Catalogue Number
SKU/EAN -> ISMN Number
Product Name - > Title
Price - > Price
These fields then appear in the item_pane skin (itempane.xml file located in the desktopmodules\catalookstore\skins\????? folder. You will have to locate these fields and move them around into a horizontal column. By default they are in a vertical column layout and then use the listview part of the catalook skin.
Moving the fields in the catalook skin is a pain and easy. You cannot remove items, just make them invisible, so some careful cut and paste.
IMHO the catalook skin is designed incorrectly. It works by having a template skin with every element defined and their location and then at run time determining whether the element should be displayed. I believe it would be much better by having a simple clean skin with just the elements that you want to use. This would declutter, spped-up parsing and finally make editing a catalook skin possible, intuitive and easy.
Good luck.

I am currently developing a portal for a music publisher, which will include online ordering. The current ItemPane layout is not really what I am after, so I want to be able to change it as follows:
I would like these headings along the top:
Composer, Title, Catalogue Number, ISMN Number, Price
Below this would be listed all titles for the chosen Category, as a list. I don't need any images.
Would someone be able to give me a good idea of what aspects of the ItemPane I'd need to change to get it into the format I want?
Many thanks.
