Fair enough - sounds like a good compromise.

There would need to be consideration for TrackStat, where normally right-arrow 
on a song shows the rating and last played time.  I guess you'd make that a 
context menu instead of right-arrow?

Whilst it would be great to combine onto the song info page, there are some 
things that are managed differently between standard and custom browse song 
info pages.  Eg. right-arrow on song title to show all other places in the 
library where this song appears.  Could this override the normal song title in 
song details (which is currently just a read-only property), or would you add a 
new item?  I think also contributor roles are handled differently.

I am also developing plugins that add TrackInfo items, and have discovered that 
it's not possible to control the order of items in the list very easily.  i.e. 
you may not be able to get items on the page in the order you want without 
changes to the core product.
