As Ⅰ have written previously Ⅰ would love to have some way of tagging functionality in iTunes.

###Right now my setting looks a bit like this:

* Ⅰ use the „Grouping“ field for my tags. The tags Ⅰ am currently using are things like „slow fox“ or „rumba“ as Ⅰ am currently cataloging my collection of ballroom dance music. But Ⅰ will be using tags like „electro“ or „typical latino“ or whatever to actually describe the styles of the songs – just to get much better and faster search functionality when Ⅰ really need to find some music that is similar, e.g. when Ⅰ am preparing music to play at a dancesport competition.
* There are some cool apple scripts out that allow adding and deleting single tags from the fields „grouping“ or „comments“. The scripts Ⅰ use are really useful, but far from really what Ⅰ want (see below). Nevertheless – they are pretty close in functionality and the only thing that is out there (yet.)

###What Ⅰ really would like:

* A posting interface like the experimental posting popup from del.icio.us. The features Ⅰ want are:
* simple tag creation. just type the tag into some form field and it is created
* re-use of old tags. show a list of tags that Ⅰ have used before, and make them clickable!
* make the selected tags stand out from the list so Ⅰ can de-select them again!
* Some additional features for the interface:
* Give me the choice to group tags. e.g. „Dance“ (would group Waltz, Cha-cha, Salsa). This way Ⅰ can easily select tags that are sorted in categories.
* Give me the choice to rename tags easily.
* Some other stuff Ⅰ would love to do with these tags:
* playlist creation based on tags – easy, fast and useful – a „there is no step 3″-approach.
* find similarities based on tags, make music recommendations, hey, make shuffle take into account music similarity and/or diversity! (How about a setting that goes like: shuffle my music, make 5 songs similar then completely switch to a different style and do another 5 songs!)
