Default Annotation feature

The annotation dialog is hard to use.

It lets you enter more than 30 characters for title, and seems to accept it, but after pressing Refresh button, the title is truncated to 30 characters.

The title text field should keep the user from entering more than 30 characters in the first place.

I found that the LimeWire annotation information corresponds to the WinAMP File Info ID3v1.

I think it would be better to correspond to the WinAMP File Info ID3v2 because this doesn't have the 30 character limits on fields like Title and Comment, and also includes some additional useful fields.

Also, I don't think Seconds and BitRate should be editible. WinAMP derives these values by examining the file. That is logical - it saves the user the trouble of maintaining that redundant data and eliminates the possibility of being inconsistent.

What do you think?
