__Note__: depending on your database size and/or your hardware, the tag-based recommendation engine may significantly slow down the user interface. You can disable it in the administration settings.
## About tags

_LMS_ primarily relies on tags to organize your music collection but also supports browsing by directory using the [Subsonic/OpenSubsonic API](SUBSONIC.md).
### Filtering
It is possible to apply global filters on your collection using `genre`, `mood`, `grouping` and `language` tags. More tags can be added in the database administration settings, even custom tags.
