ID3 Queries to Solve

I am looking forward to the solution for following problems:

1. How to read an audio file and determine what all metadata is available in what all standard and non-standard metadata formats like determining whether ID3 metadata is present or not, FLAC is present or not. I have seen that mediaInfo tool brings lot of information and I was not sure how it is pulling information like bit-rate , audio tracks resolution etc.

2. How do I know what all ID3 metadata frames are available in an audio file. My previous code just randomly check for few standard metadata and confirm the presence of same, but what if there are more metadata is available in the audio file. Also need to learn the name of all different id3 frames.

3. There are visual ID3 tools are available like:
ID3 sync - http://id3.software.informer.com/download-id3-tag-browser/
Perry's ID3 Tag Viewer - http://glassocean.net/perrys-id3-tag-viewer/


4. Apart from python, a great php code is available here
