Magnus,
When you get around to doing another update of the GUI, would there be any chance of expanding the comments field (Mass set tags, and Browse/Edit tags) to show, say, 3 lines of text, rather than just one? I'm not sure how many characters you can embed in the comments field, but I know it's quite a few (like 255 or something?), and I know that those of us who are doing the podcast thing are using quite long comments to describe topics etc in a given podcast. Having multiple lines of text visible at a glance would make editing those tags a lot easier.

There is no limit to how much text can be put in an ID3v2 tag comment field (ID3v1 comments can only be 30 characters though).

If you open the "Advanced ID3v2 info" window while using the browse tool, you will see a multi-line comment-field there.

I don't like the idea of the comment field taking up so much space in the main GUI, while normally most often not using it. Especially when a bigger comment field wouldn't fit inside the current GUI design at all. :( But if I do a majot GUI overhaul I'll definitely see what I can do about it anyway.
