The target audience is people with very large collections of music.
Tools do not exist yet. Any developers of players or taggers here?

I'd hereby like to suggest another field be added to the ID3V2 spec
specifically for atbitrary tags.

TAGS

The "Tags" frame is intended for storing multiple strings to describe
the "roles" a song may have. These roles may include both numerous
genres as well as for example mood or instruments or other
characteristics. In this sense, the frame will overlap with other
frames. This is by design, to make intelligent searches easier with
the proper implmented tools.
