Michael, I have CC'ed this email to [email protected] , which is where most of the Rhythmbox-wizards are. They might be able to help you more with Rhythmbox-internals. Great if you could also add your findings to the WritingGuide. The Rhythmbox documentation is sparse.

As I've only barely scratched the surface of plugin development in Rhythmbox, I don't think I can help you much. Charbucks made a brilliant plugin as part of Summer of Code '08. You should definetly check it out [1]. Perhaps you could use some of the logic for tagging from there?
