Some reasons:

1. We don't keep the original pathname anywhere, so editing tracks on the player wouldn't propogate back to the files on your local disk.
2. Once the files are on the player, we don't look at the ID3 tags again, so there's no point.

I did consider (and am still considering) writing the ID3 tags back to newly imported files (we still have the path before we sync).

This, however, requires deciphering the ID3LIB documentation, and getting around the fact that the released code only exports C symbols from the DLL, and we'd prefer to talk C++ to it. None of this is insurmountable, but it's lower priority than the other really cool things we're working on.
