As long as the metadata and the audio data is in seperate places there's always a good chance that you lose the metadata. Have you considered using any of the lossless audio formats (wma lossless, apple lossless, flac)? They all store metadata in the audio files, so no need to stick to any given media library program and you can move your files around as much as you like without ever worrying about the tags. But you might have your reason for ripping to wav since you posted in the audiophiles forum after all.... ;-)
