Tag view issues - help requested!

[TheOldPresbyope]

Hi,
At present I can only view the tags using MP3Tag-Extended tags. This indicates that the type of tags is ID3v2.3 - RIFF ID3v2.3, and that I am using fields Album and Artist in most cases, plus also Title and Track in others.
Is there a more informative way I can provide this information if I cannot provide the tracks (on size grounds)?

WAV files are a kind of RIFF file (Google is your friend if you're interested in the nitty gritty details).

A free command line tool akin to mediainfo which is available for Linux, Mac, and Windows OSes is exiftool

Here's the output from this tool when I ran it in Win10 on a WAV file with metadata that I constructed for testing purposes (it's a synthesized C4 tone)

This tool recognizes a phenomenal number of media types, far beyond the audio files we work with. There's enough material on the site to make my eyes glaze over. 

Since ID3 is a scheme which uses specialized tag ids there's a section on the site which explains the exiftool mapping (https://exiftool.org/TagNames/ID3.html). Example: you won't find the string "Album" in the ID3 tag; instead you'll find a "TAL" id.
