vorbiscomment - edits Ogg Vorbis comments

vorbiscomment [-l] file.ogg
vorbiscomment -a [ -c commentfile | -t tag=value ] [-q] in.ogg [out.ogg]

vorbiscomment reads, modifies, and appends Ogg Vorbis audio file metadata tags.

"-a" Append comments.

"-c Take comments from a file. The file is the same format as is output by the the -l option: one element per line in 'tag=value' format.

"-h" Show command help.

"-l" List the comments in the ogg vorbis file.

"-q" Quiet mode. No messages are displayed.

"-t Specify a new tag on the command line. Each tag is given as a single string. The part before the '=' is treated as the tag name and the part after as the value.

"-w" Replace comments with the new set given either on the command line with -t or from a file with -c.

"-R" Read and write comments in utf8, rather than converting to the user's character set.

To just see what comment tags are in a file: vorbiscomment -l file.ogg To edit those comments: vorbiscomment -l file.ogg > file.txt [edit the comments in file.txt to your satisfaction] vorbiscomment -w -c file.txt file.ogg newfile.ogg To simply add a comment: vorbiscomment -a -t 'ARTIST=No One You Know' file.ogg newfile.ogg

See http://xiph.org/ogg/vorbis/doc/v-comment.html for documentation on the Ogg Vorbis tag format, including a suggested list of canonical tag names.
