Given the limited ability of Android media players to search the "comment" a likely workaround will be using a different field as a search target as suggested here:

In this scenario, pick a lesser useful field such as Album

  • Decide which tags to use e.g upBeat happy fast bassHeavy

  • A good sarting point in doing a batch "clean-up". You can use mp3tag (freeware) on desktop to trim down the information to a minimum.

  • remove everything apart from name, artist, genre, bitrate and date added. That includes deleting the album information (see below for reasons).

  • (Add some information for each tune to the album field instead of “comments” field that now has your key information. Assuming you already set this up, just proceed)

  • Copy the comments field above to the album field. This is the reason of ealier deletion of the original entries at the start,

    (Now if you don’t care what album a track has come from but care what key and mood it has as original author - your Android player has a big album of key tunes of every mood, energy, bpm and genre)

  • You can easily do a quick search to find music belonging to a certain tag with most Android music players available.
