Embed ISRC codes?

Is there a way to embed metadata into wave files, using Sonar Platinum (latest build, released 6/8/17)?
 
Thanks!

I would be curious as to why not.  I used one of those programs to add metadata, but while it shows up in the Properties of the wave file, it doesn't show on a test burned CD.  So I'm wondering why it can't be included in the file, and if it would be possible with a hex editor.
 
Thanks!

Audio data on an audio CD is not stored in the .wav format. The ISRC for a CD is not embedded in the audio data, but in a separate area of the CD (Q channel). Consequently when you rip a CD, or translate from .wav and write audio data to it, you will typically not bring over the ISRC with an extracted .wav file, and the ISRC will be stripped from the .wav header before the data is written to the Redbook Audio file. To write the ISRC to the CD you need authoring software that supports it. If you were to successfully embed the ISRC in a wave file, and write the file to a data CD the code should travel with the file, but the CD would not play on most CD players.
 
Although the variety of metadata that can be included in standard RIFF WAVE files is significant, it seems not to be well standardized. The ISRC can be added as a comment or information or as part of a tag, but it may not be recognized as an ISRC, but just as text. The more common way to embed ISRC is to write the file in the Broadcast Wave format (.bwf), for which there are a bunch of free metadata editors available.
 
Common compressed audio formats like MP3, usually use the ID3 tag to embed the ISRC, which is the method recommended by usirc.org.

There's also a program called MP3tag that I've had some success with. It will see all of your files in your designated folder and allow you to input your codes and other file information into each file. It can be a little tedious though but "copy" and "paste" can help speed things up. I've transferred files from one computer to another and the information followed.

Ditto on MP3Tag... I created a field for ISRC codes for the ID3 tags on my mp3s.  They show up fine if you view the entire tag, but I don't know if they would actually show up anywhere else. The program is good but entering all of the tag info for an album is tedious.
