Actually, I think it would be nice to have multiple comment editors open at
once, as long as they don't get confused, as they seem to now. Having
multiple windows allows you to bounce back and forth between them, which is
useful if you have several related files (same artist/album/date/genre).

Another cool, though less intuitive, solution is that of the MP3-Info shell
extension, which allows you to edit MP3 ID3 tags from the Windows Explorer's
File Properties dialog. This program has the ability to scroll through a set
of MP3 files, rather than just loading one at a time. Each field can be set
either for the current file only, or for all files. Here is the URL for it,
if you want to take a look:

    http://www.mutschler.de/mp3ext/

So what I was thinking is that when multiple files are selected in Winamp,
and the user brings up the comment editor plugin, the plugin could load all
the files at once, just like MP3-Info. This might require the dialog to run
in a separate thread (I don't know what the plugin interface is like). It
would be much more convenient than having to do each file separately, as
both the MP3 and Vorbis plugins do currently.
