I'm a new Ubuntu Studio User.  Long time Internet Radio Broadcaster...  The one thing that matters to me the most at the moment is my Music Collection Tags.  As I use Windows 10, and use SAM Broadcaster as my main Broadcasting Program.  Fixing Tags on the fly, within SAM broadcaster, only last during that time you've edited that tag.  Learned the hard way fixing tags within SAM, and manually fixed those tags, to only find out as soon as I closed SAM Broadcaster.. All my "Fixes" didn't fix the tags.  

So I had to go into my file system and fix those tags again manually. Now my Question is this. I have put all my music on a External Drive, to Listen and to Verify all my music Tracks, with their tag. Now that I have Ubuntu Studio Server setup, can I take that External Drive and plug it into my Linux Box, and use EasyTag?

I can't see why not. What file system is your drive? NTFS? I don't have Ubuntu Studio (I had in the past, but that was many years ago, and I guess a lot of things happened since then), so I don't know if it supports NTFS file system out of the box, but if not it's easy to install. If some kind of FAT, you should be fine, except exFAT I think, but support for that can be installed too.

 

  On that Drive, fixing all my tags and then still be able to plug that Drive back into my Windows 10 Machine and transfer all my corrected tags back into my SAM Broadcaster Database?

I don't know anything about SAM or Windows 10, so I really don't know. I quit using Windows in 2007 and I only have Windows 7 at work (but I least I get paid there).

 

  To be able to Broadcast without having and issues with the files.. as they are all MP3 files. Linux/Ubuntu OS is way different than Windows is...

Yes, that's why we are using Linux in the first place, because it's different from Windows. Why replace anything if the replacement works the same way?

 

I do not feel like losing my collection again, and I don't want to spend a week or more Ripping my Music CD Collection back on my computer..

I'm not sure what you are talking about here, Losing your collection? If something goes wrong, just restore your latest daily backup, problem solved. You do daily backups, right?

 

  It's not fun, and takes at least 8 hours a day for a week to Rip 500 Plus Store Bought Music CD's...Of which 5 of those CD's are Mis tagged from the CD Manufacturer...

So it looks like you don't do daily backups. So start doing it and you'll sleep much better. :)

Kind regards
