I think it is important to consider that tags are not the only metadata=
 a file=20
can have.

Quite some metadata is automatic, either inherent in the actual data it=
self of=20
attached as part of the storage format.

Music has duration, genre, artist, probably rating, etc.
Pictures have size, timestamp, potentially geo information, also rating=
, etc.

Tags are only one kind of information that can be associated with a pie=
ce of=20
user data.
Dismissing a concept because one form of input isn't used is to me a bi=
t like=20
saying there is no use for computers because nobody re-types all their=20=

handwritten letters.
As if computers could only ever be used to write text documents :)

Cheers,
Kevin
