The only way to have song titles actually embedded on a standard music CD (as opposed to using an external database like cddb) is with the cd-text function. This will save basic author and track title info to a special header on the disk. The problem is that you need to have a cd-text capable player in order to actually see them. Many software players have this ability, but the majority probably don't, and even fewer hardware players have it. k3b has cd-text writing ability. It's there somewhere in the burn dialog configurations. Just check off the box and add the info to the fields provided.
But .wav files can't store any tag info metadata, so using them as intermediate files won't help you there. You'll have to copy the tag data manually if you use them. Another option, however, is to rip the disks to .flac files, which are both lossless in quality and able to store metadata (as well as being smaller in file size than .wav). Using flac will let you store the tag info in the files, and k3b should be able to handle them just as well as .wav files, and it should automatically add the tags to cd-text if enabled.
