The trouble is that .wav files don't have metadata (ID3 tags) that specify artist, album and track names.
WAV files can't have ID3 tags, but they most definitely can support metadata including all the ones you mention and much more in an LIST/INFO chunk.
libsndfile (http://www.mega-nerd.com/libsndfile) supports TITLE, COPYRIGHT, SOFTWARE, ARTIST, COMMENY, DATE, ALBUM and LICENSE fields.
I stand corrected. However, some CD ripping programs don't fill in the metadata when creating WAV files.
