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.
Edit1: FLAC-support is a plus.

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?
- 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)
- 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 – 2015-10-11T14:42:42.797
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 – 2015-10-10T20:58:42.610
I just checked (recent version of iTunes) – there is no Label / Publisher field available. – Pwdr – 2015-10-10T21:07:35.363
@DavidMetcalfe I’m sure my metadata is intact. – Pwdr – 2015-10-10T21:08:22.993
