Description:

A group for those who love tags as well collating the many uses of tags. Anyone is free to join as long as you're civil ;)

The tag is perhaps the most useful thing on Last.fm, here I am hoping to collate every possible use of it. Any suggestions of good resources will be welcome. And remember tagging isn't supposed to be limited by Genres and if you don't believe me see this official blog entry http://blog.last.fm/2007/08/24/thank-you-taggers

I think last.fm should make it more clear with tags, because lots of people misunderstand tags as only genre-related, while, obviously, it is not.

What a fantastic group!I want to create something similar on the topic "groups" (instead of "tags"). Please join my group and help me a bit: The Group about Groups Maybe You have some new ideas ...

I turn scrobbling 'OFF' if I'm listening to someones library & add good tracks with a tag of their name. I also add interesting looking tracks from other peoples libraries or 'Similar Artists' & then listen to them through my own library. But since I realised that LFM doesn't have very good randomisation when playing my own library I now mainly use tags to identify how many times I've heard a track and to force it to play tracks I've not heard often.

I decided to leave the listing of single tags to the the groups I link to or the group forum, Pixies Palace is just one tag and not a collection of them. The overview would be huge if I listed every single interesting tag. The Special Interest Tag Radio Collective lists it already.

Knapster01 (staff) has PM'ed me about it. Let’s see what happens. It is not exactly a major bug ;-)

your the second person whose told me they found an issue with that, the odd thing is I cant see a correlation between the two in terms of numbers, other then that your both heavy taggers.

So far I (as TaggingMachine) has tagged 99,058 artists tag under 2000 listeners. I am now getting an error when I try to tag. I may have hit a last.fm limit on tagging. If I delete a few tags, I can tag a few more and then I get an error message. Anyone know about such a limit?
