Your best bet is to post the output from mediainfo for one of the files. This will show the tags. Here is an example from one of the files in my previous posts.

eventually, to save some room you can convert them to FLAC, (zipping them doesn't lead you anywhere, for this reason we have other "compression algorithms for audio...") send them over, then we can reconvert them to wav (flac is lossless) BUT we'll need to know EXACTLY what kind of tag you had in the files (e.g. ID3v1.1 / ID3v2.1 etc. etc.)
