[vorbis] appended text/data fields

[O Si Yo]

I am not too familiar with the specs for the .ogg
format but have some ideas..  Maybe the existing
format already addresses these but as others here
would know better, I write this

problem:

with hundreds or thousands of songs/speeches it is
hard to do a word search for a recalled verse or
phrase.  I suggest adding a linked or imbedded text
field.  for speeches, a transcript could be attached
to the audio so that a phrase like 'free at last'
could be searched for to locate King's famous speech. 
Same with songs, where searching for 'you may say I'm
a dreamer' would return John Lennon's "Imagine.ogg".

also for songs, maybe there could be some timing info
for the lyrics stored in the text field, so that the
output could be displayed in time with the music to
provide a karoke function.  Also a video link?  to
flash pics in sequence?  or video streams?

Additionally, the added field may be capable of
storing music notation also or at least guitar
chording for the song.

There are so many socially active musicians who want
their music to be heard, learned and sung that options
such as these would help their effort to make their
music commonly available.

this might also be linked to video info so that music
videos may be made.  Perhaps that is part of the
overall multimedia plan of which ogg is a component, I
don't know but I do dream.
