Yes, you can use the Broadcast Wave Format, which has been adopted by  
major digital archives, but mostly in Europe. However, relatively few  
software applications have adopted the full spec. You can read more  
about the format here:

Still, the predominant approach, at least in the US digital archives,  
is to put metadata outside the digital audio file, in an XML-based  
format, such as EAD.
Hope this helps,
