Add Selectors to your music

By clicking Selectors, the Lab automatically searches for additional popular Selectors online.  In this sample I added the additional genre “chillout” to the Lemon Jelly song “Ramblin’ Man” You can now see two genre tags; “Electronica/Dance” and “Chillout”.  In the existing Selectors box you can see that the album is “Lost Horizons” and the artist “Lemon Jelly”.  Now that I added “Chillout” as an additional tag, “Ramblin’ Man will also appear when I do a search for “Chillout”.
