[Vorbis] Free tagging

Hello

I have been using Ogg Vorbis (and Flac) exclusively since I became aware of 
the patent issues surrounding all the other formats and have become very 
impressed by the flexibility of Ogg. Not being much of a programmer myself, I 
rely on existing applications to tag my ogg-files but have so far not found a 
program to change or enter a non-standard tag en masse. For example, I'd like 
to enter a tag like this "DownloadedFrom=http://prc.julipan.org" into all the 
music that is shared through our forum. There are some applications that do 
this for a single file at the time, like Audio Tag Tool 
(http://pwp.netcabo.pt/paol/tagtool/), but this is unpractical for tagging 
hundreds of files. I have also tried using the commandline-tool "lltag", but 
so far without results.

Seeing that Ogg supports any tag I can think of, I'd like to be able to use 
this feature but I'm out of applications to try... Can anyone enlighten this 
issue for me? I use Ubuntu Dapper and will avvoid proprietary programs 
whenever possible..


Peace,
Stian
