This sounds very neat!  Do I understand correctly that you can use
this tagger and the changes will be reflected next time you open
iTunes?

I was thinking of Ruby + music the other day when we had posts
announcing new classifiers (such as
http://rubyforge.org/projects/classifier/ and
http://rubyforge.org/projects/bishop/).  I wonder if iTunesTagger + a
Ruby Classifier might be able to do automatic assignment of certain
tags.  Maybe it would be possible to say "classify" the tempo of a
song as either being fast/slow to be able to distinguish between high
energy and slow music.  Or tag anything with a certain level of bass,
etc.
