My wife does the tagging so I don’t know the details. But it’s ID3 tags and she sets a custom “mood” tag. So it might look something like this “genre: classical, instrumental” but another tag “mood: chill; quiet”. Many players don’t recognize this but it originally came from her using musicbee on windows. We do set multiple values in genre but she likes having the separate mood one as well. And we use rating which is another some player ignore. All of these she uses to build smart playlists.
Musicbrainz for the basic stuff then quodlibet music player for the ratings and custom tags. If it’s important, no idea if it has a windows or mac version, we only use linux.
Thx. I’ve tried the musicbrainz Picard app and I don’t like it, I’ll check quodlibet. I’m using beets at the moment but it’s terminal based. All on Linux.

Out of curiosity, what’s the app that she’s using?
I’ve been looking for a good tagger.
