I wrote a plugin called "Song File Viewer" that you might be interested in.  It 
finds any *.txt files in the same location as the currently playing track, and 
presents a list of those files.  You can select one and read the text on the 
SqueezeBox display.

It's SB player UI only (not web or controller), but I find it useful for 
keeping additional information, such as reviews or liner notes, especially 
since then all songs in the folder will have the same information.

You could extract your comment fields out to a text file.

If you want to try it, it can be obtained from 
http://www.hergest.demon.co.uk/Music/music.shtml.


Alternatively, you can add more than one comment tag to a file.  I think the 
scanner honours this; you should see several comment blocks for the song in 
squeezecenter.
