Hi Ross, The media library simply wraps the file system - there's no database behind it, and subsequently nowhere to store additional meta data like you describe.
If you look at the gallery page type, you'll see it implements its collection of images using the database, with a field for the file (backed by the media library) and a field for the description, which is the approach you're looking for.
