Hi,
1. Open "Applescript Utility" (in your Application->AppleScript folder), check "Enable GUI Scripting", you will need your login password. Now quit "Applescript Utility".
2. Open "Script Editor". Copy and Paste the following into the script editor,
tell application "iTunes"
set N_ames to the name of selection
set x to the number of items in N_ames
repeat with i from 1 to x
set C_omment to the comment of track (item i of N_ames) of library playlist 1
set L_yrics to the lyrics of track (item i of N_ames) of library playlist 1
set lyrics of track (item i of N_ames) of library playlist 1 to {C_omment & return & L_yrics}
end repeat
end tell
3. Save the file in your Home/Library/iTunes/Scripts folder and give it any name you like. You may need to create the folder "Scripts" in Home/Library/iTunes folder.
4. Open iTunes, you will see a symbol in iTunes menu item, this is the symbol for script. Under the symbol you will find your script.
5. Select any number of songs anywhere in iTunes, click on the script symbol and choose the script you saved before.
The script will copy the comment of a song and add it on top of the lyrics of that song (if you don't have any lyrics, it will only add the comment).
