How do I view and edit pictures and/or lyrics attached to tags. I can see them listed in the "Additional frames in tags" window of the "Advanced ID3v2 info" popup. However I can't figure out how to view them for accuracy and edit them.

The picture and lyrics for these tags show up in MusicMatch when the file is played.

Right now you cannot write images and certain other special ID3v2 frames. But you can always save them to a file on your harddisk, by using the "Save to file..." button in the "Advanced ID3v2 info" window of the browse tool.

Magnus, does that mean the ID3v2 tag will contain a path to the image?  Basically it would contain the file name/path to the cover instead of imbedding it in the ID3 tag?  I'd actually prefer it that way...

The "attached picture" frame of ID3v2 tags can contain both the binary image itself or an URL to an image (which can be a local path). I have never seen any tag that uses the URL type though, but it is possible according to the specs.

When you extract the picture frame to a file with Mp3/Tag Studio, it will save the contents of the frame whatever type it is. If it is a binary picture, this will be saved to the file, and if it is an URL, this will be saved to the file.
end
