You need a player compatible with the VorbisComment standard.  If you
use Microsoft Windows, you may edit those fields in Winamp or
foobar2000.

WinVorbis[1] is a program which is dedicated for the sole purpose of
editing VorbisComment fields.  You may want to look into it as well.

Reminds me of: I had some large (40MB) TIFF image files where the metadata had a
problem, and I wanted to batch-fix them. Reading the file into memory, change 
them, and then re-write them seemed to inefficient. So I wrote a program that 
replaces the metadata in-place whenever possible, leaving the image data where 
they are. OK, TIFF structure makes it rather easy. Actually I had tried to do a 
similar thing with Vorbis, but that seems quite tricky (I wanted to _locate_ the
position where the comments are, and then overwrite them in place). Did anybody 
try such a thing?

All these programs do a read/modify/write cycle on the whole file, right?
