No way, that's not the vorbis way.  In vorbis you just put in several
FREEDBID tags:

FREEDBID=270b8617
FREEDBID=5f430c17
....
FREEDBID=4c72be17

It's possible with any vorbis tag (e.g. TITLE, PERFORMER, etc.).  Order
among tags of same name generally matters but not in the above case,
unless freedb can return entries in some meaningful order (order among
tags of different names is insignificant.

I like Common Lisp* more than Common Source
   and Open Source  more than Open Collector.
(*)Scheme is better than any scheme.
