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”.

to the lab by typing them in the “Add

I only had to type an “S” and
from the additional Selectors that appeared
I clicked on “Synthpop” to add
that tag to the Lemon Jelly album. In
the future if I do a search for “Synthpop” or
click on the “Synthpop” Selector,
the “Lemon
Jelly.ky” album will appear.
