1. I tried this and removed text from the "Comments" section, but there was NO way to save the edit... the only button was a "close" button and the edit wasn't saved.
2. I then clicked the "fingerprint" button. It showed several possibilities for naming the track (but in a list that is far too small to read anything but a title and artist name).
3. I worked my way down the fingerprints...many failed, and I also had no way of knowing what tags each fingerprint might apply.
3. I got to one that worked and identified the track well enough - having selected that I now got a "save metadata" button appear. I clicked on that and the data was saved as I expected.
So, you can edit metatdata in VLC 2.1 Rincewind (love the not to Terry Pratchett!), but not as easily as it seems from above. I did love the "fingerprint" option, but that box needs to be bigger so I can see some more of the info in the fingerprint.
