Adding Tags to Playlists
Tags are attached to playlists at the time of their creation, but they can also be added or removed later by editing the playlist details. To add tags, type the desired tag label into the "Tags" field, and confirm the tag by adding a comma or with Enter. The "Tags" field also contains a list of the user's previous tags which will display as the user types.
To edit a playlist's tags after the playlist has been created, click "Edit" to bring up the "Editing Playlist" view. Select the Edit icon next to Playlist Details to display the "Tags" field once again, and delete or add tags as desired.
