Description
Like many people I have a rather large music library which I have extracted from compact disc. Unfortunately the only tool we have to manage our music once it's extracted is Rhythmbox. What's needed, at least for me, is a tool that can edit the tags of and rename files en masse using pattern matching and cross-referencing and fun stuff like that, as well as something that can quickly convert files to any format for which an encoder is available with a minimum of fuss and complexity.
On Windows I use foobar2000 for this, and it's functionality that I sorely miss whenever I'm using Ubuntu.

I agree that tag editing in rhythmbox isnt so good but EasyTag is definately sufficient for me. Apart from that i think rhytmbox is great.

I don't know off-hand if it's in the repositories, but MusicBrainz.org has a number of products to do this for you. http://musicbrainz.org/doc/PicardDownload is one such product which I've used before with fairly decent results.

MPD and Sonata cam easily search, play and edit tags without a problem... As for music conversion, Sound Converter in the repo's does a quick n easy job...

If you're just dissatisfied with the application itself, theres like 10 other possibilities.
The most popular one is probably Amarok. I like Banshee and Exaile. Really the only difference between all of them is a different GUI layout. I think they all even use the same backend. Amarok probably has more plugins available though.

most people now a days have huge music libraries which can go up to 30 gb +
itunes does does a good job in handling it all very smoothly.
we need somthing more sleeker and powerful.
sync for ipod and others would be good combined into the software

I *have to* use amarok for my 100Go collection, I'd like to see a GTK software that could do the same job (don't tell me about exaile). All I found that was worthy is gmusicbrowser but it's still in heavy dev.
