I've been tagging a lot of music using the discogs plug-in and have been adding release dates to the tags. I've been using Musicbee application and have been trying to see this info in my library, however it doesn't display when selecting the "release time" tag field. It seems it only works if you…

[image] waterfall: .... "release time" tag field. ....Ultimately why doesn't mp3tag seem to be writing RELEASETIME correctly? Or if it does, why can't other apps correctly read this info (even when set to correctly do so)? I think that RELEASETIME has the format YYYY-MM-DDThh:mm:ss If you …

That's useful to know, thank you. What field would be best to save release date to? And what field is best practise to ensure that it's the actual date even if releases are re-released and remastered? Nonetheless, saving the tags in mp3tag and then viewing in musicbee - for example - and other way…

Releasetime is the only (standard) field that allows more than just the year. The DATE field is not supported very often. As long as you enter the complete data incl. some kind of dummy time, any program that can read RELEASETIME should be fine. If you enter non-standard data, you are left with t…

[image] waterfall: I still don't think mp3tag is correctly saving the releasetime tag to it's proper id3v2.3/4 name (TDRL). ... or are one of the two not conforming to the standard? I can only repeat: As long as you don't write the complete RELEASETIME in its full beauty which includes year, …

[image] waterfall: I still don't think mp3tag is correctly saving the releasetime tag to it's proper id3v2.3/4 name (TDRL). When viewig the tag in musicbee, it's reported as "episode date". When I delete that part of the tag and write a new "RELEASETIME" within musicbee and then inspec the tag w…

Ok, I think I can now understand. I guess I've configured my discogs script (a little) incorrectly since I mapped release date of tracks to RELEASETIME. Based on the kind information you have offered, because the dates from those tags haven't been correctly populated - according to the standard of …

[image] waterfall: ... What would you advise I map the discogs release date fields to e.g. TDOR (Original Release Date)? What is the best practice field to set these to? What is the best field to use then for re-releases and remastering - as opposted to original release date? You are welcom…

Would you (or anyone else reading) know what would be the best field to use for Traktor? My main goal is to have all my tracks with a release date amongst them so when browsing my collection in Traktor I can see the release date. I guess it'd be original release date? I want the format YYYY-MM-DD. …

Releasetime tag not compliant?

I think that RELEASETIME has the format
YYYY-MM-DDThh:mm:ss
If you leave out data then it is not correct.
