However, I notice in rhythmbox that there's no option to display the comment at all in the library.  Suffice it to say that I wish it were configurable exactly which ID3 fields were enabled for display in the library.

First off - I know next to nothing about how classical music should be
tagged, but aren't the artist and composer tags the places for this?
(this is how itunes/ipod does it, i think) Perhaps it would be better to
add a composer to the preferences dialog.
