It says it spent 19 seconds finding and examining 6 files (all listed above). It didn't find any tags in any of them - being wav files, I'm not surprised. However, how that equates to over 10,000 tracks is beyond me... I'll leave the small matter of the 699 Genres you appear to have for 912 albums for later! Can you go into settings in the Web UI and make sure that the Basic Settings tab looks like the one below (especially, nothing in the Playlists Folder), then do a full rescan... this may help us see the wood for the trees...
