Is there a tag editor that will show me miscellaneous garbage tags?

Is there a tag editor that will show me miscellaneous garbage tags?  I've been driving myself crazy trying to find something like this.  What led me to this point - iTunes apparently writes some information into the tags of both mp3 and its native m4a files, including Sound Check data.  I'd like to be able to see and experiment with these tags.  But every tag editor I've looked at is only giving me the basics: song title, album title, artist, etc.  I had thought it might show up in Comments but no luck.  Any suggestions?  Preferably I'd like to be able to get into these tags for both my mp3 and m4a files, but I'll settle for either at this point.

Actually there are more tag editor out there that are capable of what you need than you think. Another alternative would be Mp3Tag: http://www.mp3tag.de/en or http://developer.mp3tag.de/ (latest build).

If you think you also have APE tags, you will need to tweak Mp3tag...
Tools > Options > Tags > Mpeg > Read: check "[x] APE" (then do a "View > Refresh F5").

But, if you do check "[x] APE", then Mp3tag appears to not read the IDv3 tags.





Something that has helped me, I created some "Customize columns"...

Code: [Select]
Name: Tag
Value: %_tag_read%[ (%_tag%)]

Name: ID3v2 Char
Value: %_id3v2_character_encoding%

Name: Album Gain
Value: %replaygain_album_gain%

Name: Track Gain
Value: %replaygain_track_gain%

(P.S. You'll need the Development Build (at least version 2.36f) http://developer.mp3tag.de/ to use %_id3v2_character_encoding%)
