No - just a text file artist:album:genre:track:year:title: or something like that - I keep the text file in the same directory where I store the flac files so I can edit it and decode/encode again when I discover a mistake. A database would be nice, it could include lyrics, composer, etc. that could then be fetched even if it isn't in the tags - but I currently don't use a database.
