If you do not want to use sed or awk, then you can use it with simple comamands. But you should be knowing the line number
For example file contains
cat yourfile
line 1
line 2
line 3
line 4
I think your intension is to add a line after line 2.
head -2 your file > newfile
echo "new line" >> newfile
tail -2 your file >>newfile

vorbiscomment
VORBISCOMMENT(1) Ogg Vorbis Tools VORBISCOMMENT(1)
NAME
vorbiscomment - List or edit comments in Ogg Vorbis files
SYNOPSIS
vorbiscomment [-l] [-R] [-e] file.ogg
vorbiscomment -a [ -c commentfile | -t "name=value" ] [-q] [-R] [-e] in.ogg [out.ogg]
vorbiscomment -w [ -c commentfile | -t "name=value" ] [-q] [-R] [-e] in.ogg [out.ogg]
DESCRIPTION
vorbiscomment Reads, modifies, and appends Ogg Vorbis audio file metadata tags.
OPTIONS
-a, --append
Append comments.
-c file, --commentfile file
Take comments from a file. The file is the same format as is output by the -l option or given to the -t option: one element per line
in 'tag=value' format. If the file is /dev/null and -w was passed, the existing comments will be removed.
-h, --help
Show command help.
-l, --list
List the comments in the Ogg Vorbis file.
-t 'name=value', --tag 'name=value'
Specify a new tag on the command line. Each tag is given as a single string. The part before the '=' is treated as the tag name and
the part after as the value.
-w, --write
Replace comments with the new set given either on the command line with -t or from a file with -c. If neither -c nor -t is given,
the new set will be read from the standard input.
-R, --raw
Read and write comments in UTF-8, rather than converting to the user's character set.
-e, --escapes
Quote/unquote newlines and backslashes in the comments. This ensures every comment is exactly one line in the output (or input),
allowing to filter and round-trip them. Without it, you can only write multi-line comments by using -t and you can't reliably dis-
tinguish them from multiple one-line comments.
Supported escapes are c-style "
", "
", "\" and "
