Can't speak for amarok2, but in amarok1 I have have many folders with music 
that I have imported from vinyl, therefore having no native tags.  I have 
entered the information on amarok and it has saved it, accessing it in future 
with no problems.  I didn't use any tool, just manually entered the static 
info for the album, then individual track info.  It must be stored in a db 
somewhere.  HTH
