First off, thanks for the thoughtful reply, I'll need to study this.

Yes, in some cases I would like to set up meta data including album art.
In all cases, I would like meta data for Artist/Album.
I guess it wasn't clear that I'm recording vinyl from a turntable with
a digital recorder.

I'm not following this. I am starting with 2 wav files from the recorders

I'm using Windows and am recording on a Tascam CD recorder. My "sides" start as two wav files on a CDRW.

Using Linux. The recorder is a Zoom H4N, I read the
wav files from the Zoom SD card. I'm planning to use
Audacity for any edits that might be needed.

Interesting.
I'm really not sure what it is you are doing. It looks like you are setting your tracks and song titles with your recorder and it's creating this file for you so you can do further processing with it. Looks like you are asking the right question - you need to find something that can understand the work you've already completed.
I've always avoided to any work on the recorder - preferring instead to start with a single wav file then do the rest on the PC.
I'm not even sure Audacity works with wav files. My original work was done using Korg Audiogate software which did support wave files - though I don't know if there is a Linux version.
Maybe doing things your way will end up being easier in the long run.

Audacity has the ability to add/edit metadata to tracks, at least when I used it on my AIFF rips, so I'm not sure what his problem is, unless it doesn't work on WAV.

So I tried it. I recorded a CD to disk and then tried to open it from Audacity in Windows 8. No go - says I need to rip the file to a format it understands, one of which is .wav.Go to file manager and look at the CDRW and see a CDA file - length 1k. Look into properties and see it's a wave file with the appropriate content - much more than 1 k.
I suspect, but don't know for sure, the OP needs to know how to actually get access to the .wav information described by the header he has linked. The Korg and dBpoweramp software probably know how to read the .CDA file, extract the data then create the new .wav file on the Windows drive.
He hasn't given us an update yet but I'm hoping once he figures it out he lets us know the process on Linux. I looked briefly and as usual it kind of depends on what linux is being used. Most surely one could do it independently of UI from command window but who wants to work like that?
