The trouble is, even standard, rules-abiding id3v2 tags can contain a lot more metadata than that. I find that the inability to view that data in EasyTag to be a serious shortcoming.

Puddletag, on the other hand, lets you view ALL the metadata embedded in a file, and lets you configure how much of it you want displayed in your main work window. FWIW, while I found EasyTag’s “workflow” to be fine once I got used to the program, Puddletag is probably easier to use even if it has a lot more options (for instance, you don’t need to save every edit to a file, nor do you need to specifically tell puddletag to apply those changes to more than one file at a time when you have multiple files selected). Anyway, puddletag’s worth a look!

Yep, Apple does too much to get control of your data…

From another side, doesn’t Google do the same in Android?
