WAV does not have a defined standard for tags, however Kodi should be able to read tags attached to a WAV file as long as they are in the id3v2 format. It was working in the past and it is still in the code https://github.com/xbmc/xbmc/blob/master...1265-L1266

I came here with a related issue - wav files with id3v2 tags not being picked up by the audio library scan. I don't write C++ so I might be mistaken, but it looks like the code @jjd-uk is referring to wasn't compiled for a while, until this commit (note the

cpp:
#if

): https://github.com/xbmc/xbmc/commit/bc94...e4b00b8a68
I'm running 17.4 20170822 right now and I have a suspicion that is my problem. Looks like an upgrade to 18.x might fix it for me - I will try that and report back.

However @JohnyLondon does talk about a 'new build' so it sounds like you are probably using a newer version of Kodi?  

I think that's just a compiler directive used if Kodi was compiled with an older version of taglib.  I think it should read id3 tags in wav either way.  Looking at the Krypton branch it seems like krypton is built against taglib 1.11 and Leia against 1.11.1

Looking at taglib project:

"TagLib 1.11.1 Release - October 24, 2016
Fixed binary incompatible change in
TagLib::String
.
Fixed reading ID3v2 CTOC frames with a lot of entries.
Fixed seeking
ByteVectorStream
from the end."
