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.

speaking of, ross, do you know if any of the ogg files
on trianglerock.com have comment data like this?:

http://www.xiph.org/vorbis/doc/v-comment.html

either the brasilia files don't, or the illuminable
codec can't read the comments.
