Josh Kupershmidt proposed the following answer:
Bob,
If I understand your question correctly, you have imported some songs into rhythmbox and the columns displayed for "Genre", "Artist", "Album", "Year" (which columns are shown exactly to you are set by the "Visible Columns" preference option) etc. display "Unknown". 

It's actually very easy to edit this metadata in rhythmbox: simply
right-click on the song, go to "Properties" click on the "Basic" tab,
and edit the "Title", "Artist", and other rows you see. You can even
highlight several songs from the same album at once to update an album
at a time. If album art doesn't display after you've entered this
information, you can drag and drop an image into the lower-left corner
of rhythmbox where album art normally displays.

I believe there is support in rhythmbox for pulling song metadata
automatically using a service called "musicbrainz", but I'm not sure how
you enable this support.

Good luck
Josh
