They were ripped & tagged by Audiograbber on Windows using whatever 
vorbis encoder dll was the latest/greatest at the time. When I open them 
in Amarok I see tag information including title, artist & album, both in 
the 2 Brazilia files & also in a random dozen others I just checked. I 
can't tell you whether those are via vorbis comments or via some other 
bastard metadata, however.

I unfortunately have no idea whether Audiograbber or Amarok is adhering 
strictly to the vorbis-comment specs, but they're apparently both able 
to agree on whatever it is that they *are* using. I wouldn't put it past 
Audiograbber to have wedged MP3-style ID3 tags into the ogg files, and 
for Amarok to be able to read them just cuz somebody at Amarok decided 
to look for ID3 tags in *everything* regardless of extension/format. But 
I don't know if that's what happening, either.

If I didn't have to wade thru 40 network disconnect tickets this 
afternoon, I'd spend more time on researching this. Blech. Friday.
