Does anyone know any free alternatives to Informator?
As a sidenote, this doesn't deal with EXIF metadata only. I'm hoping for video, music, and who knows what else beside images metadata. Being able to view and edit as well.

If you're not afraid of using the Terminal:
mdls /path/to/file
Unfortunately there do not see to be any tools which let you edit the Apple metadata beyond the standards created for digital images like EXIF, which I understand you aren't concerned about.
You can achieve the writing of metadata elements such as kMDItemWhereFroms
in the Terminal using the xattr
command.
mdls
is for reading the metadata only.
Example for writing the file's origin:
xattr -w com.apple.metadata:kMDItemWhereFroms 'http://www.example.com' <filename>
