Regarding the filetype ".INI" Wikipedia says:  
"Semicolon (😉 at the beginning of the line indicate a comment. Comment lines are ignored." [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/INI\_file](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/INI_file)  
Although a Mp3tag MTA textfile looks alike a standard INI textfile, it is not documented, that both filetypes are interchangeable.

One tricky way to add comments into a Mp3tag MTA script file can be as following ...  
Action "Format value".  
Field: MY\_MTA\_COMMENT  
Formatstring: **$char(0)'here is a comment line'**
