How to sync WAV Files to iTunes to play in iPhone, iPad, iPod?

This is a magic WAV to iTunes guide to let you add songs in WAV format to iTunes, so that you can stream them to iPhone, iPad, iPod via iTunes.
Q: "Hello hello. I'm having a bit of trouble with my iTunes at the minute. I have an album on my computer and the songs are in .wav format, and iTunes not letting me import them. Any help? Btw, my iTunes is at version is up to date."
WAV is an audio format for storing sound in files developed jointly by Microsoft and IBM. Support for WAV files was built into Windows 95 making it the de facto standard for sound on PCs. WAV sound files end with a .wav extension and can be played by nearly all Windows applications that support sound.

However, when it comes to Mac OS, some of the WAV files still can't be loaded to iTunes although it claims to support WAV format. It means you cannot stream your WAV songs to iPhone, iPad and iPod in this way. 

In order to solve "iTunes won't import WAV" problem, I've tried several ways including convert WAV to aac format via iTunes but it still cannot be accepted by my iPod. So I turned over to third party software and luckily I found this Pavtube WAV Converter Ultimate (Read review).
