In the interim, have you considered using FLAC? FLAC can losslessly compress WAV files (up to 8 channels and with sample limits I don't recall off-hand) and use tagging many other programs already support (including EasyTAG).

I use FLAC for most of my sound editing and I go from Audacity (editor), to EasyTAG (tagging), to listening on a desktop computer or a portable music player all with FLAC files.

I work in a similar way. I create my work with an external device from which I get WAV files (it doesn't support anything else). I open them in Audacity, then I do some final polishing there, export to FLAC and add tags with my own scripts (which are based on MetaFLAC, which is a part of the FLAC package). I could do the tagging in EasyTAG, but my scripts are optimised for my own workflow and for avoiding spelling errors and other problems. I use the tags for documentation of my work, so I include information about who plays what instrument, where we recorded it and when, something that would not be practical to do with EasyTAG.
