tags are used by any and all modern flac players be it software or hardware based.

if you still burn CD's then tags may seem unnecessary - yet some may enjoy the redbook feature of CD-Text.
For those who enjoy digital playback systems (portable player or home A/V servers) tags are essential - the cryptic 'etree naming convention' is severely lacking by todays standards.
it seems the live audio trade sites are the only sites that dont enforce tagging.
