Yes and no, which probably isn't a very helpful answer.

The database supports then on all entries, which includes tracks on
portable audio players and daap tracks. However they current aren't read
from or saved to portable players, or gotten from DAAP shares.


I'm not sure whether any portable players with databases (e.g. ipods)
have them, but if they do we could save them there. For other players we
could either save them into a file on the player, or a file on the
machine.
