Check "Id3 Tag" integrity from mp3 (almost a "debug"). Is it possible?

I'm using Mp3Tag do edit Id3 tags in my mp3 files.

In the editor everything looks ok, but in my iTunes, some of them just ge messed up. The artist isn't read, Album Artist doesn't show up, this kind of thing. It's just random, some are messed up, some aren't.

How do I "debug" this problem? How can I check what is written in my mp3 metadata, if possible, running all my mp3 in a batch (since I have >100gb)? How do I know if there are "garbage" in the metadata section along with information I correctly edited?
