Rhythmbox and metadata

I was wondering whether there is way to make rhythmbox fetch or find metadata automatically online for all the songs in my library. Is such a task possible?

Unfortunately no, Rhythmbox doesn't support fetching of metadata not even through plugins. But there are better alternatives available in Ubuntu repositories. I would suggest EasyTAG

EasyTAG is an utility for viewing and editing tags for MP3, MP2, FLAC, Ogg
Vorbis, Speex, MP4/AAC, MusePack, Monkey's Audio and WavPack files. Its simple
and nice GTK2 interface makes tagging easier under GNU/Linux or Windows.

You can install it by running the following command in terminal.

sudo apt-get install easytag

or search for "easytag" in Software Center and install in from there.
