Inspired by this:

It would be easier (and would make sense) if the Tag Inspector could be opened by right-clicking a file.

Your asking for it to be a top level menu option right?  I don't know...
We already have plenty of options to get there.  Not sure if adding it to a top level menu is really all that beneficial.
Compared to:
Add a hot key (one key press)
Add a toolbar button (one click)
 <right click track>  Edit (Tag Inspector is part of the edit tags dialog)
I am not completely sold on the idea but I suppose, depending on the specific use case, I might be swayed one way or another...
If someone just didn't see it in the edit tags dialog then I feel they did not look for it very hard as that is the logical place it should be.

Edit:
But I am of the opinion it should be in MusicBee menu >> Tools >> Tagging Tools.
For some reason is isn't listed there...

This gets my +1
Along with an option for a toolbar button and hotkey.
Download the latest MusicBee v3.6 patch from here.
Unzip into your MusicBee directory and overwrite existing files.

there is already a hotkey and ability to add it to the toolbar. Search for Tag Inspector in the hotkey preferences

Far be it for me to question the developer, but are you certain of this?
Using 3.6.9285 P I see this:


Ahhh ... I found it. It's Edit: Inspect Tags, not Tag Inspector.

From a logical and intuitive standpoint I think it makes sense that you can inspect the metadata of a file by means of right-clicking it.
