I've been using rhymthbox for ages and I think it almost hits all those 
requirements

Yep

with Last.fm's tagging system, and notification of when there's a
recommended song available for free download.


Scrobbling is reliable, never had problems in all the years I've been 
using it. Don't know about the second bit.



  * Playback, ripping, & tag editing for all of the usual media types,
esp. MP3 & Ogg.  I don't really feel like re-ripping all of my CDs.
  * Podcast feed support with automatic download and good control over
episode retention.


Yep. There's not great control over episode retention though


  * Pause/Play & volume control via notification area icon (although
that's gone under newer desktop environments - do they provide
similar functionality without all of that stupid pop-over/pop-back
animated visual noise?)


Control for rhythmbox happens in the sound control indicator widget 
these days.

I had a look at your fdisk -l output (sorry, I didn't before) and I saw 
that /dev/sda1 is almost all of the disk, definitely a lot more than the 
43G that df is reporting. That's quite bizarre.

So looking at your computer, I see that you've allocated a total of 43G 
for your Ubuntu install:

r...@user-desktop:/home/user# df -h
FilesystemSize Used Avail Use% Mounted on
/dev/sda1  43G   38G  3.7G  92% /

And your home directory is using 32Gb, which leaves another 6Gb outside 
of your directory, which is probably the Ubuntu install itself and other 
miscellania. Your problem seems to be more that you haven't 
allocated/partitioned any of the rest of your drives.
