One day I hope to find a music manager that allows arbitrary tagging that works just like labels in Gmail.

I believe you can do this with beets. I have many fields for labeling songs by characteristics or personal preferences like `rating` then there is a plugin for smart playlists that let you define library queries and turn them into a playlist.

Others are right though the initial set up can be daunting though.

I was just reading through beets docs page and it looks like you're right: https://beets.readthedocs.io/en/stable/guides/advanced.html#...

I use the comment tag for this (of which you can have multiple).

Windows does this natively doesn't it?

It's been a long time but I recall foobar2k, with a few plugins, provides this feature.
