Fixed in build 1113. - The whole thing was a little more complex, so I added a new feature. We should document it somewhere, preferably also in Wiki. Here is my description from the forum: -------- I have to disagree slightly here, the facts here are: 1. MM really writes TDRC frame in ID3v2.3 tag, which is only specified in ID3v2.4, but it also isn't directly against ID3v2.3 specification. The reasons for this were discussed in other threads here - we don't want to store ID3v2.4 (maybe in the future), but some 2.4 frames are useful. 2. The problem is mostly on the side of the other applications mentioned, e.g.: - WinAmp: Yes, it doesn't show ID3v2 Year, but as I explained in 1., there's no real reason why it shouldn't do so. Also, some older versions, like WinAmp 2.2x _do_ show it properly in this case. - Foobar shows date as '2001; 2001' even in case e.g. TDAT and TYER are present. That said, we want to write tag according to our users needs and the best solution for now seems to be to make it a little configurable. So, the next release of MM will have two new MediaMonkey.ini file entries: [MP3Tagging] DisableFrames=TYER;TDRC EnableFrames=TDAT This way you can force MM to not write frames it normally writes (pretty much any frame can be disabled this way) and also force it to write frames it normally doesn't (applies only to TDAT frame at this moment). ------- |

I'm not sure I understand how this is supposed to work: If I set: [MP3Tagging] DisableFrames=TYER;TDRC EnableFrames=TDAT Then neither MM nor Winamp can read the year if I save a year as eg. '1968'. Am I misunderstanding? |

may I add one small sugestion that we change [MP3Tagging] to [ID3v2Tagging] for more user friendliness and possible usage in future version and additional customization. |
|

It makes some sense, but generally it isn't clear what exactly will be needed in the future (e.g. differences between ID3v2.3 and v2.4?) and so I'm leaving it as is. |
|
|
Basically I was thinking about to make it more global for all file formats that Uses ID3v2 Tagging and not just MP3s, but you are right it is still unclear what we can use it for exactly. For now it is better to leave as is. |

Verified 1115 (tested that tdat only; tyer only, are both readable in MM; and that TYER only is readable in Winamp). |
