sorry, I agree with jacoboften ... I think this mix has a lot of potential but when you search using tags, it's because those adjectives are pretty damn important ... if I include "instrumental" in a search then I want it to be instrumental. I'm excited to explore your other playlists thought :)
a fine point. however, there are few tags that accurately describe all songs in a mix that contains several sorts of music. We would need, for example, 'some instrumental' or 'some pop', etc. if the tags are to describe a heterogeneous mix as a whole. I would be happy to tag this way... but because I don't see it becoming common practice, and tagging is valuable only insofar as we share common conventions, I haven't done it. (How many rock lovers would search for 'some rock'?)
