I have found some ID3 tag editor in the web but unfortunately they are no longer available in 13.04 repository. Can anyone give me some recommendation for an ID3 Tag editor program? I need features like being able to tag lots of files at once and to read/write embedded (not linked) album art cover to/from Mp3 files.

Picard is an amazing program, highly recommend it. +1 to ssweeny's rec.
However, if you just want to rewrite all existing tags, I think Ex Falso (apt link) and id3convert (apt) will better suit your needs. You might be able to do this all in Ex Falso, but I like knowing the original tags were removed.
Incidentally, Ex Falso has a plugin to tag via MusicBrainz just like Picard.
Process
- Use Ex Falso to rename all your files using the fields you want to keep (tip: hit "Preview", then "Save").
- Delete all your tags:
find . -type f -iname '*.mp3' -exec id3convert -s {} \; - Check to see tags are really gone:
id3info example.mp3 - Use Ex Falso to retag based on the file names or MusicBrainz.
