Tags provide flexible categorization for your songs beyond music collections. Use tags to mark songs by genre, mood, tempo, occasion, or any other attribute you want to filter by.
Understanding Song Tags #
Tags are labels you can attach to songs. Unlike music collections (which are exclusive folders), songs can have multiple tags simultaneously.
Example tags for a song:
- Jazz
- Upbeat
- Cocktail Hour
- 1960s
- Instrumental

Managing Tags #

- Delete unused tags – Remove tags that are no longer relevant
Best Practices #

- Use multiple tags – Songs often fit multiple categories
- Try AI suggestions – They save time and improve consistency
- Think about search – Tag based on how you’ll want to find songs
- Review regularly – Clean up unused or redundant tags
