For ogg? I don't think there is. There is picard[0], which seems to do
*almost* everything you want to do, but I'm not sure if it supports ogg
or not. FWIW, picard is in the [community] repo but I've never used it
so YMMV.

I'd imagine it wouldn't be too hard to script something up in Python or
write something in Golang; Musicbrainz does apparently have an API[1].
I'm not sure that they would let you look a track up by length via the
API, though.
