Java Tag Generator [GUI Version] For Music Blogs, Youtube

I wrote a simple tag generator for music blogs sometimes back. I now have come up with a GUI. As mentioned before, this application will generate tags to be used for some music blogs or youtube etc. You have the flexibility to choose whether you want the tags to be generated for the lyrics of the song or for the music video.

One feature I have added in this feature is that when you generate tags using this aplication, the tags are automatically copied to system clipboard, so you can just paste them. I am avoiding a step you have to go through in copying the generated tags.
