The album art can be linked to display the art of the currently playing album. can the comments field or the propertys box be set for the same option?

This is not possible, but has been requested.

Hmm, thats really sad, because many mp3s got texts about the album tagged into the comments field. It would be awesome if those texts would be displayed while playing a song.

Unfortunately I haven't found any plug-ins for Winamp to do that.

Maybe there is some kind of visualisation plug-in for winamp ? Does anyone know of ....

There is an album art plugin, can't remember which one, that I once obtained from the winamp site that would also display tag info including comments, sorry I can't be more specific.

Yes, it would be cool, in a future release, if you could toggle the album art window to show the comments, or even make another window just for the comments.

Well there have been suggestions to make the album art window a track window that shows track info, album art, etc in preferably a customizable way. This could as currently be linked to the current playing track or the current highlighted track.
If it even shows the next to play track (optional) it could be a nice replacement for the Now Playing window (shouldn't be dropped from MM) in certain occasions.
