just saw this yesterday, but there is apparently a new field in the BWF format to add ISRC's.  here's a link to the MPG London talk about it.

long overdue for this in the WAV format.

Waves supporting ISRC's? Apple selling lossless audio? What's next, brick-wall limiters being banned? 

Pretty psyched about this!

Me too, lots of great news recently!

Well, I'm not. Maybe I'm different.
This is definitely a good direction where this is going,  but it should have happened years ago.
Changes arrive way too slow.
- ISRC- well, ok, but there should be ability to encrypt ISRC in wav files to disallow any alteration by anbody not owning the private key. This would also open several possibilities to file tracking and restricting free copying and publishing (please let me know if I missed something- I haven't watched MPG webcast yet, I am going to do that today).

- Apple lossless- Will it change the game ? We'll see in a few years. For now, if it has any meaning it has only for Apple- they just bring attention to them, but the music is not going to be (or sound signifficantly) better because of higher word length/sampling rate and no lossy coding (most people who buy music won't hear the difference and they do not even bother about it- they just want the music they like). I'd love to be wrong here, really.

Just my $0.02.

oooo,  that sounds like a good idea. . .  there's always a way around it, but sounds like another SCMS type thing.  maybe not a great idea...  i think wav file just now adding ISRC compatibility is a bit late to the party, but such is the nature with standards.  i like the 'outside the box' ideas and having some control for the artists, labels and engineers would be good.  the internet is much like the wild west in lots of ways...

Well, copy protection is just one of the ideas  .
I think standards are slowly adopted when there is no money involved. Such implementions likely generate more costs for software vendors (developing, testing, writing documentation, etc.) and there is no direct/enumerated income behind this.
