Is there any particular reason why you are using ini-style files. IMHO they are not very good for storing information that could potentially store multi-line content. I don't recall any programs using multi-line content back in the win-3.1 days. You wish to try using some other form of delimiter (or if available a database). For example. Using "**" to seperate records and "--" to indicate that start and end of the text data, e.g. month:day:year:time:bands:venue -- Event description, line 1 Event description, line 2 -- ** month:day:year:time:bands:venue -- Event description, line 1 Event description, line 2 -- ** month:day:year:time:bands:venue -- Event description, line 1 Event description, line 2 -- This is only a simple example, but may solve your problem. The only issues with doing this that I can see is that it would require a lot more work of the programmer but should not be to difficult to implement.
