Welcome to the world of digital music libraries! I think you're doing
the right thing pursuing an all FLAC library.

There's plenty of good software out there for manually editing your
library. MP3Tag has been mentioned. Picard too. MediaMonkey is popular
and powerful. There are others. They can take a fair bit of work if you
have a whole library, and to retain consistency between tagging styles
(e.g. remembering what genres you have used) can be a pain to straighten
out, but in theory they should do what you need.

Your next level of pain will probably be sorting your tagging in a way
your music players (I assume SqueezeX, but you may use others) can
understand. There are quite a few subtleties in this, for instance the
different ways different players treat compilations.

Oh and then you want album art -> 'blatant plug'
(http://musiclibrarymanagement.blogspot.com/2009/10/automatic-album-art-management-with.html).

And then you have to remember to apply all the rules you learnt/decided
above when you add new music.

But it's great apart from that, honest! :D
