It seems like you can add ID3 tags to just about any file.  Can they be
added to a WAV file, or would most players get confused by that?

Maybe someone has explained before, but if your equipment can handle
flac, why bother keeping WAVs at all?  The conversion is so quick and
today's CPUs are so fast it's nearly zero-cost.
