I think you're over-reacting to the use of/media... it is there in compliance with the Filesystem Hierarchy Standard. And as for screenshot #6 - "Restart Required" - maybe rebooting after a kernel upgrade isn't the end of the world;)
For mp3 ripping, encoding, analysis, tagging and gain-normalizing, I like "Exact Audio Copy", "Lame", "EncSpot", "MP3BookHelper" and "MP3Gain". I usually recommend "Audacity", too!
