I download a lot of live recordings which come with detailed text files regarding recording source, venue, etc.  I would really like to incorporate this information into my database, but it is too much to put in the tags.   I would like to see an additional tab in the properties window which allows you to add notes to the music files. is this possible?  would anyone else like to see this feature?

Why not just put it in the Lyrics tag??
That can hold a lot of info.
Plus it means all the info will show up in existing track info pages and in other players as well as MJ.

Seems like the best place to me.

Use the "Notes" field, perhaps?

good call both of you.  i didn't realize that tags could hold that much text.  its still not ideal for notes i look at regularly (ie. having to go to the edit window to view the text), but at least the info is there.

If you put it in the notes field you do not have to go to the edit window.  It is available from playing now in the track info display.  I don't remember the name of the track info skin but one of them allows you to display notes and lyrics fields in playing now...

There are probably others track info templates displaying note field.

I don't know if Media Server delivers note & lyric fields

On the Media Jukebox site, choose Accessories -> Plug-Ins. Then choose the Track Info Templates menu option (on the left hand side).
