This seems cool at first glance. I want to be able to use libre.fm to
discover new Free artists. This is not easy currently, or if there is
an easy way, I have not discovered it.
And I am concerned with more than just the tag cloud. It was just one
example. I want to be able to pick out the Free from the non-Free all
over the place where I am seeing them mixed and ideally from my point
of view, I would like to be able to toggle a switch and make the
non-Free fade from site at times I choose.

Throughout the whole site, I would like to be able to see at a glance
if something is Free or not. (Or hide the non-Free if possible as I
say, ideally both depending on a toggle I set.)
Then, in places like the tag cloud(s), have two as you suggest, one
for Free and one for non-Free, or reserve half of the list for Free
(or a greater or lesser percentage as the developers decide.)
Please note that I am making no demands here. And if I repeat myself,
it is more of trying to explain a little clearer each time, not trying
to repeat myself to try and get my way from repetition.
Have I missed any obvious places due to my ignorance of the site?
(What about a streamed playlist? Any way to indicate Free / non-Free
in the stream?
