On the command line, you might try ffmpeg. I found this example which
will probably also work for ogg:

ffmpeg -hide_banner -loglevel warning -i input.mp3 -metadata title="The
Title You Want" -metadata artist="The Artist" -metadata album="Name of
the Album" -c:a copy output.mp3

The "-c:a copy" part instructs ffmpeg to make a direct copy instead of
transcoding the file using some default audio encoder settings. Both
that and the metadata options must go inbetween the input and output
file names. See "man ffmpeg".

Other programs I found support only mp3, have not been updated in a
decade or are rather convoluted, using their own database as an
intermediate step (update tags in the db, write out to files).
