Now I’m in real trouble. For the past couple of years I’ve dedicated a lot of time into doing two things; perfectly organizing my iTunes music library with ratings and genres so that I can make perfect playlists, and tagging my iPhoto library with keywords as well as organizing the photos into events.

I’ve recently become obsessed with keyword tagging. I think it’s the best thing to come around since coasters. I’ve just now discovered how to tag my music with keywords and make even better playlists depending on the current mood.

If you look in the meta of your songs you’ll find a field called “Grouping.” In here you can type whatever you want. What you can do is tag a song something like this: .2001.LA.fun.dance.high school.
The reason for the periods at the beginning and at the end of every tag is so that you can form a playlist that includes the Grouping “LA” but not songs that are tagged lame.

There goes the rest of my time, now devoted to tagging my music…
