I have just recently started to get into tagging and smart playlists. I would like to be able to tag or label songs by mood (e.g., background, party, etc.) and also set up sub-genres (e.g., jazz -- bop, free, etc.). I have seen some posts about this, but haven't quite figured out how to do it. In the list of tags, for example, I expected to see something for "mood," but it wasn't there. Any help as to how to create a mood and subgenre tag would be appreciated -- I assume this is pretty easy and I am just missing it.
Also, I have a license for Media Center 11. Because I only have a use for the music portion of it, I downloaded MJ12 and have been using that. In order to rip mp3s with MJ12 do I need to purchase the encoder, or since I already have a license for MC11, would that suffice? I realize I can do my ripping in MC11, but I would prefer to use just the one program.
Finally, is there a benefit to upgrading to MC14 over using MJ12 given that I would only be using the music portion of it?
Thanks.
