Tags & custom fields

Annotate tracks with your own tags and custom fields, then filter your library by them — your taxonomy, not the platform's.

Overview

Every track in TrackDen carries metadata pulled from its source platform — title, artist, album, BPM, key, genre, price. On top of that, you can add your own tags and custom fields for things the platform doesn’t track.

Automatic tags

When you add a track, TrackDen pulls the genre and style tags from the source platform automatically. Toggle this on or off under Settings → Audio using Automatically extract tags.

These tags are searchable and filterable like any other tag — they’re just pre-filled for you.

Custom tags

Add as many of your own tags as you want.

  1. Select a track so its details appear in the right-hand panel.
  2. Click Edit.
  3. In the Tags field, start typing — matching tags from your library appear and you can click to add.
  4. If no match exists, press Space to create the tag.
  5. Click Save.

Custom tags are global — once you’ve used a tag on one track, it auto-completes for every track after that.

Custom fields

For metadata that doesn’t fit a tag — mood, energy, set position, your own pricing notes — use custom fields. These are free-text fields you define yourself per track in the edit panel.

Custom fields are searchable from the main search bar and from advanced filters.

Tags and custom fields feed every search and filter in TrackDen.

  • Quick search — type a tag in the search bar to narrow the library to tracks that carry it.
  • Advanced filters — combine tags with BPM range, key, genre, price and platform for sharp playlist building.
  • Playlist filters — same controls scoped to a single playlist.

FAQs

Are automatic tags and custom tags stored separately?

No — they live in the same tag list. Once a tag is on a track you can’t tell whether it came from the platform or from you. Manually-added tags stick around even if you re-refresh the track’s metadata.

What happens to my tags on a track refresh?

A refresh updates the platform-side metadata (price, audio preview, etc.). Custom tags and custom fields you’ve added are preserved.
