Custom tags is the only ID3-conforming way to do it.  Misuse of frames
may be what other players do -- and it may be what developers of Amarok
decide to do -- but it's not standards-compliant (or it wouldn't be
"misuse").

However, this brings up a question: is it worth having a (presumed) SoC
slot spent on such a niche and Amarok-specific feature.  I don't know
the answer to this.
