Re:HP DVD Drives
Interesting, but the point of the OP is that he used torrents so he would not have to deal with metadata. Unless one can plug that thing directly in the pipe it does not solve the problem!
Like many people I use this tool, pretty convenient and it is linked to a few online catalogs/guessers:

Re:Who cares?
If you have access to a Windows box check out MP3Tag from http://www.mp3tag.de/en/
It's by far the best tool I've found for fixing up metadata. Want to rename a folder full of music based on tags? No problem! Album art? Lots of sources to get it and many more added in his forums. This tool is awesome, sorry I don't think there's a version for Linux...

Sanatize your collection...
using MP3TAG: http://www.mp3tag.de/en/
Remove all comments and other "red flags" from your ID3 tags. Clean up the artist, album and track info.
Make them all fairly uniform in ID3 info.

Amarok in LinuxAs a GNU/Linux user, even though I refuse to run KDE, I have had the best luck with Amarok. My archive (only about 150 GB) is nearly entirely rips of my albums. It has just about the best interface I have seen for dealing with a large (and sorted) archive. The features I like most are album cover manager, last.fm integration, ipod-style (artist->album->track) menus, the wikipedia info and lyrics based on context, and the random-album play mode.
There is a gnome equivalent but it is not quite as stable. I can't speak for the MacOSX crowd, but when in Win32 (rare these days) I reluctantly choose to use Winamp.
Some tips from my experience:- Be an ID3 tag-nazi - No player can compensate for 750 GB of badly named media. MP3Tag is your friend for batch editing ID3 tags.
- Sort all your files using a resonable naming system. I use '/path/to/archive/%Artist%/[%Year] %Album%/%02Track% - %Title%.%Ext%'. This comes in real handy for writing scripts to deal with an archive to large to manage by hand.
- Backup. Backup. Backup.

My recepie
Winamp + MP3Tag + discogs.com + a lot of spare time = perfectly organized collection.

Re:Tag & Rename
By the way, there is another program that IS freeware that does the same thing with amazon.com, but I can't remember the name
:/
Mp3tag? http://www.mp3tag.de/en/index.html
That's a diamond, IMHO. -
Re:AAC vs. FLAC/SHN convenience
dBpowerAMP Music Converter is a free Windows download which will convert between virtually all audio codecs and has a "Preserve ID Tags" option. However, SHN does not support tags so it can't transfer them, and many times I find even FLACs on eTree lack tags. Unfortunately, you have to buy the plugin for dBpowerAMP to edit tags directly, but there are a number of free tag editors out there, MP3Tag being my personal fave.

MP3Tag
Use MP3Tag for building id3 tags. Free, fast, and easy to use.
http://www.mp3tag.de/en/
Can do mass changes very easily, file renaming based on tags, reads almost any audio format, freedb support, and lots more. -
Re:Flac for sure
Yeah, FLAC stores metadata, using Vorbis comments. There's various tagging programs that'll happily deal with FLACs, such as mp3tag for Windows or Media Rage for Macs. Finding Linux/BSD software to do it shouldn't be a problem, of course

Re:The deal with mp3I use Mp3tag http://www.mp3tag.de/. It's the best freeware id3 tag editor that I've come across.
