RhythmBox is able to edit most, but I also need to override the default/downloaded image of the album art that's displayed when the song is played.
Please tell how to do so through RhythmBox (though I doubt that can be done).
If that's impossible, please recommend a few music editors/taggers that can get the job done.
Song metadata tags can be edited in Rhythmbox by right-clicking on the song and then selecting Properties from the popup menu. This will open a small Properties window in which you can select the Basic tab and edit the song's tags from there. However this way of editing tags is unnecessarily slow and repetitive if you are trying to edit the tags of multiple songs that have the same tags in some of their fields. If instead of Rhythmbox you use a music tag editor, you can batch edit the tags of multiple songs in a graphical application that is easier to use than Rhythmbox for editing tags.
EasyTAG would be a good GUI music tag editor to start with for three reasons:
It is easy to use.
You can edit (add or remove) album art.
You can batch edit the tags of multiple music files.
EasyTAG writes music metadata in a logical standardized way. There are two other music tag editors that offer you more freedom to choose the way you want to edit music tags: Ex Falso and MP3 Diags. All three of these applications can be installed from the Ubuntu Software Center.
