To restart from an empty MythMusic database (in 0.27) execute:

mysql -h [hostname] -u mythtv -D mythlive -e'\
 delete from music_albumart;\
 delete from music_albums;\
 delete from music_artists;\
 delete from music_genres;\
 delete from music_songs;\
 delete from music_directories'

Then perform a rescan.

Why .wav files and not FLAC?  They're both lossless.  FLAC is about 1/3
to 1/2 the size.
