2) I also loaded up the Linux version of the emplode tool (emtool) and tried to get gemtool working. While that hasn't happened yet, I am seeing the simplicity of gemtool just sending batch commands to emptool as an engine for the GUI. So now I am thinking that if I hack a bit more, I may be able to build my own gemtool like interface (ala Jemplode etc) that will batch change the database like I am envisioning. Of course this won't touch the ID3 tags or run on windows but it could be an interesting exercise in futility.

Of course, there is nothing to stop you from make your gemtool send commands not only to emptool, but also to some of command-line ID3 tag editors (e.g. the simple one that comes with ID3v2 library).
