Wonderful. 8 extra tags pr. session should be enough for everyone :-)
Will people be able to see all the existing tags a file already may have? 
Ie. if I have a file with around 30 misc tags, will the program be able to 
display these?

Year too, mayhaps?

Regarding various artists as Wilson made us aware of, I don't see a 
problem. IIRC FreeDB.org (and EAC) uses the "standard" by having the 
trackartist stored in the songtitle seperated by a slash as below.

Artist: Various Artists
Songtitle: Trackartist / Songtitle

Whether you want to put the trackartist in the title-tag or artist-tag for 
Oggs should IMO be a personal preference. I just don't think a new tag for 
track-artists should be needed (yet).

I use it more for novelty at the moment. But that is because my Ogg-files 
already are tagged. It's great to see a Windows mass-tagger for Ogg coming 
along though. It has been sorely missed.

Maybe later on "drag-n-drop" in conjunction with a "stay-on-top" could be 
added? Just another suggestion. But functionality before gimmickness IMO
