it seems a handy idea when i can use informative text in the albumart window
handy when there is no albumcover but there is some textual information

i use mm for e-books and radio-plays and they mostly have no album art
and i want to see the reader/players and or textual info in a window

just put a readme.txt or index.htm file in the album folder and choose as if you would choose different album covers

Does not exactly solve your issue, but if you unselect album art under the view menu.
You can then add the text to the comments and you could view them via Gege's lyrics and comments viewer script.

A scripting solution seems like a better solution to this issue. There are already various scripts that can show additional information in their own pane. Some solutions show a webpage (dynamically generated by the scripts) so you could program a script to look for a certain type of file in the album folder (if you want HTML output).

thanks drjboulder for the script
the only disadvantage is that i have to put all my docs into the id tag and that is a lot of work and it is difficult editing html like that

so i think i need a script with the possibility to open an exporer window to pick up the file and then puts the content of the file in the pane

and you have to somehow save the filename with the mp3 and flag it when it is needed

maybe this is possible for version 2 of your script

i have updated the lyricsviewer script with the additional possiblilities:

files like notes.htm, notes.html, notes.txt, readme.txt , index.html and index.htm which are found in the folder where the audiofile resides will be showed in the lyricsviewerwindow

in the options screen the function is optioned

for htm(l) files: only the html code between <body>tags wil be used and scripting is removed
for txt files: line breaks are replaced with <br>

also a dutch translation is added in the lanquage files

file is to obtained here:

http://pharez.com/mm2/LyricsViewerv1.2%20basic.rar

just put files over the existing files and restart MM
tested only with MM2

(my first MM code)
