It'll be also nice for audio files in MKA's
No, sorry. I will not add any option for directly modifying tags. One of the reasons is that such an option would either be very simple and therefore completly situational (which usually leads to a lot more requests like "but I want it to do xyz" and "but I also need abc") or it's powerful and very complicated to use (which in turn leads to the users requesting a simple GUI component in mmg for it which then is supposed to turn into a full-blown tag editor).
