Metadata travels with the file
A filename may be useful to you, while tags give music players structured fields they can sort and display.
Consistency matters
Small differences in spelling, album artist or disc number can split one release into multiple groups.
Artwork is metadata too
Embedded covers are convenient but very large images increase file size. A clear, reasonably sized square image is usually sufficient.
