Get FLACs from the .wav files and then tag the FLACs. foobar2000
(http://foobar2000.hydrogenaudio.org) has an excellent (mass) tag editor.
Don't use the winamp plugin to tag FLACs; it doesn't handle UTF-8 correctly.
Yet.

If you want Vorbis files from the FLACs, use the patched version of oggenc
available at http://www.ph.utexas.edu/~volsung/patches/.

Feel free to post to the list again if you need help writing a ten-line
python script to do the flac->vorbis conversion all in one go.
