Part of the power/appeal of Urs' Kid3 is in its flexibility/customizability. So if you're written any useful filters or code, please share it here so others can benefit from your work. (Also if Urs helped you privately, share his wisdom here too!)
Filter name: Tag2=v2.4 & Tag1 present
Does: Filter includes files with v2.4 tags AND v1.
Use: I converted all my v2.3 to v2.4 tags, and occasionally have trouble with Rhythmbox which prefers v1 tags, so I'm removing the V1 tags.
Code: %{tag2} equals "ID3v2.4.0" and %{tag1} not equals ""
Write rating & popularity metadata to files (which Rhythmbox doesn't do): discussed this with Urs, it's definitely solvable, BUT the easiest way is to import your library into banshee [http://ubuntugenius.wordpress.com/2011/04/21/good-bye-rhythmbox-hello-banshee-migrating-your-music-to-ubuntus-new-default-music-player-from-11-04-onwards/] then sort by rating, select all those files, then force it to write metadata by adding e.g. "X" into the licence field for all the files, see [http://askubuntu.com/questions/102414/how-do-i-force-writing-of-metadata-out-to-files-in-banshee?rq=1]
