Vorbis - Jul 2000 - Meta-data enabled encoders

Hello,

I have been following Ogg Vorbis for about two months now. I like
it. A lot. I can't wait to use it. I want to use it so bad it
hurts. The only thing stopping me at this point is the inability to
add artist, title, and album information to the file. I consider that
a must before I start ripping files into the .ogg format.

Does anyone have *any* kind of a timeframe on an encoder (for Linux)
that can insert comments(meta-data, whatever)?

I appreciate any comments.

later,
joseph

Yes. A while back. Vorbize does this (though it's somewhat limited).
Vorbize is in CVS, and has been for a while. When I stop being lazy, I'll
get around to uploading version 0.2 of OggEnc, which does multiple files
and treats comments in a more general manner (I think). This'll likely be
tomorrow.
I've used oggenc along with a (very ugly, hacky) perl script to encode
whole albums (two or three). The perl script just gets cddb data and feeds
it to OggEnc appropriately, which then does all the work.
