Actually I would like to see this feature implemented. The "Edit Track 
Information" dialog isn't ideal for the use, and a separate "Information 
viewer" for a chosen song would be better, including the lyrics, suggested 
artists and wiki information.

But perhaps we should concentrate on major changes in 2.0 and Qt4 first.
