I cooked one Python script quickly. You can review it here: http://db.tt/yGa14ZA or download from here: http://db.tt/Rnkhpod
As I understand your library is in MP3 format, so I used ID3 tagger. Script fetches last.fm top-tags and puts them in COMMENT tag.
If you ask me, although "TopTags" are more meaningful then "TrackTags" they can consist lots of garbage

WARNING: This worked some releases ago and I didn't test it with the current one!
Close Banshee.
Backup your ~/.config/banshee-1/banshee.db (copy it, do not move or rename it).
Execute the following command: sqlite3 ~/.config/banshee-1/banshee.db "update coretracks set LastSyncedStamp = 0 where PrimarySourceID=1"
Start Banshee. It should now update your ...

Try EASY TAG
It’s a great tool for editing most ID3 tags (both version 1 and 2) on all popular music filetypes.
It automatically taggs music using CDDB and renaming the files themselves and directories they are in

The DNS323 suffers from this server side DFS bug but it is possible to work around it.
In the samba config file on the nas, add the following line under ;[ global ]
msdfs root = no
client lanman auth = yes
and use the following rule in the /etc/fstab
//x.x.x.x/dir /home/username/mountdir cifs ...

A simple method from the command line would be to read the output from pulseaudio to list properties of a sink input by running the following command in a terminal
pacmd list-sink-inputs
By this we can see the application that initiated a stream as well as other song properties from metatags (including artist, title, etc.) if available.

For Ubuntu 12.04, in particular, the performance of the dash was such that it did not handle displaying hundreds or even thousands of results very well. In addition, it was felt that a user would find it cumbersome to parse hundreds of results visually when it was easier to type terms to narrow down the search, so limiting the number of results displayed was ...

OK, this is how I decided to solve this:
Desktop side: use MediaMonkey in Win and gMusicBrowser in Linux. I really enjoy the latter because you can customize how the information is displayed in several ways. It is not fancy (no super-UI, controls, etc.), but I care more about the features, not the details in the UI. You can also set smart lists based on ...

My default ICS music player (which i rarely use) doesn't seem to show ratings, so it's hard to say.
As you've no doubt realised the only practical way around this problem is using ratings in tags. This won't work with iTunes AFAIK. However the problem is that for MP3 in particular, there is no universal ratings system for ID3. That said,
Various music ...

Quod Libet will handle multiple values for pretty much any tag where supported by the format (e.g. mp3). It also knows about other person-like tags such as albumartist, performer and composer and has meta-tags for these.

In Banshee, choose Edit > Preferences from the menu at the top. In the General tab of the Preferences dialog window, there should be an option named "Sync metadata between library and files". Make sure this option is checked.
As far as I know, this option won't retroactively update metadata for files that you've previously updated in Banshee, but it will ...

I have the same issue and, so far, the only workaround I have found, is to update some song's properties and load again the files to U1.
Another way is to delete and upload the songs with the Web interface of U1.
Of course these are not valid solutions because:
1) with the web interface you can upload only a file at a time (impossible job with hundreds of ...

After copying my itunes library to my Ubuntu partition, how can I rename mp3s to their correct name?
Ended up using tagtool to rename the files based on their tags.

The bash script noted above is doing the trick for me - but how would I use it to automatically go through my subdirectories recursively? My subdirectories and files also have spaces in them - so how would I script it when I have spaces in file names?
I searched around, and wrapped it with this:
current_directory=$(pwd)
mp3_files=$(find ...

I had the same problem and tried all banshee and exfalso suggestions posted so far without success. Later on I've found out that my problem was occuring for music files without write permissions (i.e., read-only files). I changed all my Banshee library file's permissions at once by running the following on Banshee's library location in bash:
find . -type f ...

Try to enable the "Library watcher" Extension:
Edit -> Preferences -> Extensions
That, with the Organize music and folders option should do it, that's the way I keep my music organized automagically. You don't need to rescan the music library with this plugin enabled, if you drag and drop a file to the window or add it to the Music source folder set up in ...

Picard is an amazing program, highly recommend it. +1 to ssweeny's rec.
However, if you just want to rewrite all existing tags, I think Ex Falso (apt link) and id3convert (apt) will better suit your needs. You might be able to do this all in Ex Falso, but I like knowing the original tags were removed.
Incidentally, Ex Falso has a plugin to tag via ...

For a task like this I recommend MusicBrainz Picard (apt link)
It allows easy manipulation of MP3 tags, and will even query the MusicBrainz database and update/correct your tags.

It's very odd that you had to do that, if it happens again, let me know directly and I'll look into it. My email address is up at: https://launchpad.net/~beuno
If a lot of people upload thousands of mp3 files at once, the scanning can have a few minutes of delay, but I don't see any spiked that would cause this.
Also take into account there is some caching ...

Answering my own question...
Apparently the problem has been solved by restarting Ubuntu One on my PC in the system preferences, clearing the troublesome files from the Ubuntu One directory, and re-uploading them. I also restarted the Ubuntu Music app in android again. Everything seems to be in order and functioning fine now.
