Hello,
I have a folder including wav files which have tags eg title, artis, year, and when i set this folder as favorite, most of the tags are not loaded to VDJ. How can i have them as complete?
Thanks in advance

Unfortunately WAV files don't officially have tags (metadata).
There are some implementations to allow wav files have some sort of simple metadata, but they are not following a typical standard system (because such system does not exist).
Therefore the situation with tag data on wav files is a hit or miss one.
The quick way to get around it is to use tag editor to grab the basic metadata (artist - title) from the filenames of the files.
The other way is to manually type the missing info.
PS: In the tag editor as long as Artist & Track fields are filled, you can use the "Get missing info from Discogs" option in order to try and fill the rest fields automatically

Do you see the tags in the tag editor?

Thanks for your replies,
Titles and the artists are available in tag editor but the year field is empty. I need to have them.
Converting the files to FLAC (with the tags if possible) may be a solution I think, are you aware of any software than can convert wav files with their tags?

If the songs are known, use the option "Fill missing info from discogs" in the tag editor as PhantomDeejay said. It should get the Metadata. Otherwise you can add/remove/modify the Metadata by yourself using tag editor, locally (only for your virtual DJ database) or write the tag directly to the file. With a search you can find tons of online and software free & paid for converting wav to flac
