I used Helium for years, but have recently switched to MediaMonkey with a lifetime license.
I found this thread because I have discovered similar concerns regarding missing items.
Non-modal always on top would be nice, but not a deal breaker for me.
However, not having access to all available tags is a Real Problem.
Where is access to the URL tags? What about sub-titles?
I think there are about 8 WWW tags and 2 SubTitle tags.
There seems to be several tags that are fairly common yet can only be accessed via third party software, such as Mp3Tag, Helium, TagScanner, etc.
I really really wish to be able to access these items from within MM.
See
http://id3.org/id3v2.3.0#Declared_ID3v2_frames for a list.
A program does not even have to be programmed for all specific tags, because any and all tags, custom or otherwise, can be obtained in a 'for' loop when the stream is opened.
An example of this can be found in FileTagSleuth which quickly roots out 'all' tags.
Another example is VLC, which at least has a tab pane in Media Info which shows all extra metadata in bulk, albeit not editable.
Also: a Re-sizable form is a Must!
Regarding the 'Custom' tags 1-5 :: it appears these only exist in the db, and not converted to named tags? Is that correct? This could be handled via TXXX tags.
For example: I have a lot of 'artists' with life-spans, e.g. Walther von der Vogelweide (c.1170 - c.1230)
It would be nice to be able to make a 'Born/Died' custom tag and actually have this inserted into the mp3 so that the information persisted when I sent them to someone.
