Is there a music (mp3) player on Mac which is able to display the ID3-TPUB (Music Label) tag in list view? For me the label is as important as the artist, so I would like to view them side by side without having to go to an ID3 edit-window or something similar.

I am not looking for other ways to store this information, I am looking for a program which can display this (standard) tag. List view image

Edit1: FLAC-support is a plus.

  • I believe ID3-TPUB was part of the ID3 2.3 draft, and iTunes supported up to ID3 2.4 last I checked. Are you sure the songs have the Publisher (TPUB) metadata intact? Any chance it was converted by iTunes and damaged/lost? – David Metcalfe Oct 10 '15 at 20:58
  • I just checked (recent version of iTunes) – there is no Label / Publisher field available. – Pwdr Oct 10 '15 at 21:07
  • @DavidMetcalfe I’m sure my metadata is intact. – Pwdr Oct 10 '15 at 21:08

If that is a regular tag, Quod Libet should be able to display it.

See their FAQ: How do I add custom / unusual tags to the columns in the song list?

  1. Right-click the song list header bar and select Customize Headers from the context menu (or click Preferences from the main menu and select Song List)
  2. In the Others field, click Edit, then Add, and enter the custom tag name, remembering that they are case-sensitive.

Quod Libet is available cross-platform (GNU/Linux, Windows, Mac OS X), free/libre open source software, and gratis. I don’t know how it runs under OS X, but I can recommend it at least for GNU/Linux, especially for huge music collections.

  • Great! Thanks so much @unor! For others: you can add the record label by right clicking on the menu line (where title, album, etc. is), then press `Production Headers` –> `Organization`. I will wait a few days if there are more interesting entries until marking your answer as the accepted one. – Pwdr Oct 11 '15 at 14:42
