I'm displaying the %encoder% and %encodersettings% columns but they are always empty. I can see that the fields are LAME and VBR -2 in other applications.

Those are regular tag fields in Mp3tag and if they are empty then they stay empty.  
Other software might get the information from lame info tag or decoder detection and display it under that label.

So there's no way to see these tags in Mp3tag?
