But if you make a mistake and want to *change* this DownloadedFrom tag later
on, things get more complicated, since the vorbiscomment utility misses the
crucial feature to *selectively* delete comments (it can only delete all
comments by using parameter -w instead of -a). Comparable tools like metaflac
can do it... Maybe a feature for a future version of the vorbiscomment tool?!
