You could subdivide as needed, say by initial letter. Chances are when
you use the brain, you will simply search the composer's name, or
navigate to him through another category (Baroque, ORchestral, etc.),
and possibly never actually load the COMPOSER page.

You select them by holding down the CTRL key and mousing them
individually. Then you assign the Selection to the Blues category.

There's no direct database import function, it seems. But what I
described above is quicker than dragging every one.
