My music library is completely wav as well. The files are tagged with
ID3v2.3 tags and it works just fine. Although there is no defined
standard when it comes to tagging wav files, it is possible to tag wav
files. The tagging method uses a RIFF chunk to maintain the wav file’s
integrity. In the RIFF chunk, which is called “id32”, there is the
ID3v2.3 tag. 
I use iTunes for ripping and then I run a custom application on my
library that writes the tags to the wav files – the information is read
from iTunes. It does not rewrite the complete wav files; it just adds
the RIFF chunk to the wav file. 
Many people on this forum are opposed to wav files and pro flac. But it
is all relative. Just make up your own mind about it. If you want to use
wav then go for it. It works and your wav files stay intact. Wav is
uncompressed CD quality and it can be easily converted to something
else if the future requires it. Bandwidth, storage space, etc, is not
an issue at all. I have two SB3’s running wireless – runs flawlessly.
