I can fully appreciate the problems of how it could be implemented from a UI point of view. Personally, when I sit down to listen to music with no specific thought in mind, I would find it advantageous to exclude what I am not in the mood for that day rather than have to search through a plethora of music that does not fit the bill.

If you are deciding between include and exclude on a tag-by-tag and day-by-day basis, I think the only way to support this in the UI would be to duplicate every tag choice with an include and exclude version. For example, instead of Genre you would see Genre+ and Genre- and selecting Genre- would give you choices like Baroque- and Classical-.

Sounds a reasonable solution to me. If you get some positive feedback on this, could you please consider including it in a future release.
