UI nitpicking:

These:

$ tmsu tag summer.mp3 music big-jazz mp3

$ tmsu tag --tags "music mp3" foo.mp3 bar.mp3

$ tmsu tag spring.mp3 year=2003

Are confusing. Very non-Unix. They should be:

$ tmsu tag music,mp3,year=2003 summer.mp3

I have to ask, how are they non-unix?

They're inconsistent. Sometimes the file name comes before something and sometimes after something. It's a lot easier to remember commands if their structure is uniform, and Unix commands usually have the general structure of "program [options] [files]"
