Tags are a bonus, it's handy to have them if you're using your computer to play flac files. Easytag is a good file tagger for linux.

Thanks for the tip. I gave it a try and see that several of the shows I've leeched have been tagged, although vlc seems to be the only player I have that shows the artwork. I tried tagging the flac files of a show I taped and can see how it would be helpful if I wanted to know the name of the song being played, or if I wanted to play a certain song and didn't know what track number it was. I'm still not interested in using it for myself since I prefer mplayer for home and convert to apple lossless for iPhone for when I'm on a bike or bus, or at work, but at least now I have an idea what tags are useful for.
