Keep track of your stuff with MediaMan
MediaMan is a program that is pretty much impossible not to compare to Delicious Library. Like DL, MediaMan does a great job of cataloging your Books, Movies, Games, and Software. It retrieves cover art and summaries from Amazon.com's servers, meaning that it takes minimal effort on the user's part to add new items to the library. Also like DL, it allows one to use a webcam as a barcode scanner, but in our testing, it was finicky at best. Some books just plain wouldn't scan, and even those that did took a lot of fudging. It ended up feeling like an uncomfortable elementary school yearbook shoot. Despite the gimmicky barcode scanning, MediaMan is a solid solution for keeping track of your media, and we enjoyed playing with it. Since Delicious Monster has sworn never to port Delicious Library to any platform but the Mac, it's the best you'll get.

Jeremy: There is a program called MCatalog that is officially sanctioned by Delicious Monster, but it is not actively maintained, as far as I can tell. I'd been trying to get it to compile on Ubuntu for months, to no avail.
Daniel: GREAT tip, I'll review that program next!

Try http://www.helium-music-manager.com/
I've been using it for several years and it does an excellent job of tagging your music with whatever you need. I think there's a trial version, so give it a go for 15 days and see if you like it.
