One "tag" you can add to MP3 files is "beats per minute" (BPM), at least in iTunes4 (I never noticed it before, but it may have been there). Adding this BPM info to your files allows for some interesting playlists such as the following:

Using a free online tool, such as the Beats Per Minute Calculator, you can easily find the BPM of your tunes. Note that you can find this same JavaScript at many places around the web; this one had no advertising on it. You can also download it "as source" to use it offline.
