"Well, in the case of a meticulously managed collection, I'd expect the files to have correct metadata."
WAV files don't have metadata like mp3 files (typically) do.
I'm not saying I copy the uncompressed wav collection to my phone (~700 GB) but I am saying that my original metadata schema has all of the metadata in the filename:
Last, First - AlbumName - 01 - SongName - 3m25s.mp3
... and yes I could parse and reencode all of these populating their mp3 tags with these fields but, man ... what a load of work just because iTunes can sort by 50 different attributes just not filename:

... just look at all of those fine grained, fancy ways to sort by ... but the most basic attribute of all the filename is missing.

And it includes the option to sort by name. I’ve just checked with the most recent version of Apple Music, and the wav filename appears in the title field and you can sort by it.
- dangravell 5y ago> WAV files don't have metadata like mp3 files (typically) do. I feel it's my civic duty here to repeat: they do, in fact they even support ID3 tags, but it's up to the software developer as to whether they support them or not. WAV tagging has grown in support in the past few years, but yeah, iTunes certainly doesn't support them.
