Instead of being Tags, the data is probably stored in RIF WAV headers.
SlimServer/SqueezeCenter can read these headers I believe. I think this
was added to better support former Audiotron users.
As for converting these files to FLAC and preserving the meta data, I
really have no idea :) But the two step process of getting WMP to
convert to WMA Lossless then convert them to FLAC may be the best
method.
