some places it feels like you are the ghost
I'd like to be able to include a list of FlickR/lastfm/etc.-style tags as metadata for my audio files and then use this information to be able to sort tracks, preferably in iTunes.
(In other words, I'd like to, for example, tag a song as "angry, new wave, erotic, fish" and then be able to sort based on any or all of the tags in order to assemble playlists.)
Assigning a singular 'genre' to a song seems far too limiting.
Does anyone know of software or plug-ins that can do this? ID3v2 is flexible enough to contain this type of data, but I'm unaware of anyone who's written an implementation of it, either as a stand-alone application or as a plug-in for music players.
Is this question clear as mud? If so here's an article on the kind of metadata tagging I'm talking about that might clarify my question.
(I realize that I could use the 'comments' or 'category' fields in an ID3v2 tag to do this, and then use iTunes smart playlist searching features to do this, but I'd like a more dedicated and elegant solution that treats each tag in a list of tags as separate data. Being able to work with tag clouds (here's an example) would be an additional bonus.)
