I think hardware tags are the only thing we need. :3
And bbc code in the description, if it's possible.

I support tags, of any kind, but I do not support a requirement of describing the software/hardware used. Really unnecessary IMO.

A little icon on the submission a la pouet would be nice, though I agree that tags shouldn't be mandatory

If you add tags PERIOD (not HARDWARE tags), people can do what they feel like, so that would be awesome

That would be cool, but then there's risk having multiple tags that try to mean the same thing because of typos and grammar, like break beat/breakbeat etc.

I dunno, I'm thinking of Last.fm 
What I'd do is tag suggestions, when you type. It would suggest you already created tags, so you don't fuck up the spelling and consistency.

Ah, ok, I dont use Last.fm:) If dev's can do/implement suggestions then that would be awesome.

I'm undecided if I prefer fixed or open tags. Boils down to precision vs flexibility.
A cool solution would be to make a list of pre-fab tags for the most common ones to select from, but additionally allow custom entries. That would kill dupes for the most popular tags but still be open for new ones.
Edit: I like the auto-suggestion idea

I am not really sure last.fm does that, i just meant, they don't mind "wrong" tags, but Wordpress has this tag suggestion thing going on and is very useful (comes in handy for us at TCTD)
