I don't think you could do this in MS-DOS batch language, which has no
capability for manipulating the contents of strings. A Unix shell could
do it easily. A scripting language such as Perl or Python could also do
it quite well.

The relevant parameters to oggenc are as follows:

oggenc -a "Artist Name" -l "Album Name" -t "Song Title" -n tracknumber
       -o OggFilename.ogg WavFilename.wav
