Yes, there are ways to emulate Tags in iTunes, but wouldn’t it be cool if iTunes would offer native Tag support?

Another alternative is to use static playlists as “label” groups, and then just use smart playlists to combine at will. This is probably faster to set up than using the genre field, thanks to drag’n'drop.

You can use the Grouping field (under Get Info > Info) to do that very thing. Add your own tags and setup smart playlists accordingly. Massage at will.

I use these to tag my tunes, and then use a smart play list with a condition like "grouping contains 'mytag'".

Hi,

I use tags in iTunes by using the Comments feature. Take a song, do a Get Info on it, and you'll see an area for comments. Just put in whatever words you want for tags and save.

Then you can use Smart Playlists to organize things, like finding all songs with the tag "workout". It's not exactly the same, of course, but it works really well for me. Hope that helps!

You can use the comments section to write whatever you want, then use smart playlists to organize your music by whatever’s in the comments section.

For instance, I hate having random tracks of music floating around my iTunes library. I prefer entire albums, but I have a few dozen single tracks that I organize by entering “single track” in the comments field, then creating a smart playlist that includes all tunes with “single track” in the comments field.

Works great for me.
