ogg files definitely store the artist, etc. You can use the program
'ogginfo' to see which comments are in an ogg file. "ogginfo foo.ogg".
ogg/vorbis files store arbitrary (key, value) pairs. There are standard
keys like "ARTIST" and "TITLE" but you could add your own to note e.g.
beats per minute.
When playing the concatentated file with two songs in it, xmms will
display the title of the second song (read from the same file) when the
first song is done playing.
