2 Suggestions: Show type of tag used

1st suggestion: Correct me if I'm wrong but you really can't see what type of tag has been used in a file  with "Show file info". It's a little annoying firing up Tag just find out. If multiple type of tags have been used this becomes more than confusing, you just don't know what you're editing. To tell to what type of tag each value belongs to is my request.

2nd suggestion: I always run foobar hidden and use global shortcuts. The only thing that indicates what song is being played is the balloon tip. Again, correct me if I'm wrong but it's seems like at this time the balloon tip is not "formatable". Put it under "Title formatting" and finally I can see what tracknumber and what record is being played.

Can't be done because tag types may change when updating tags, so displayed info would get out-of-date (and modifying database back when updating files is not an option).

I was just about to recommend that It used the same formatting as System Tray but apparently peter beat me there.
