You can use an ARTIST tag all you want.  But OGG is not MP3.  Don't be
surprised if the standard-following players stop displaying your ARTIST
tag.

If people still use ARTIST, there is little incentive to support
ENSEMBLE, PERFORMER and CONDUCTOR.  The standard will die stillborn,
and we'll forever be limited to the toy sandbox that MP3 plays in.
