The "Track Info" visualization is nice, but it lacks real-time updating (of track position), and it is read-only: fields cannot be updated, but only read. Also, in previous versions of Media Center, the "Track Info" side window could be resized and made "always on top". Both can be useful, but they are not enough. The default editor for Notes and Lyrics (Data Type=String, Edit Type=Large Value) is really poor. Small font, not resizable. One could hardly use it.
I think that the audio experience is greatly enhanced by having additional information about what you are listening to. So an enhanced "Track Info" is needed.
"Enhanced Track Info" would be a window that can be made "always on top", activated by means of an hot-key (or icon). The window would have a few "tabs", each on which has a different activation hot-key (or icon). Tabs would be "General Info", "Lyrics", "Track Notes", "Artist Info/Bios", "Album Info", "and Genre Info". The window would be updated in real time with track position information and it would skip to the currently playing track. When the user is editing a field (with F2), of course the window would not change track until the user confirmed (or discarded) changes, for example with CTRL+ENTER.
It would be fun to have synchronized words and chord display, but, again, not really needed.
