Hi

after tagging my songs in mediamonkey with the proper date i refresh mp3tag an the following fields are updated:  
Date and Year

My problem is, the field date is populated with DDMM

What i want is to move values in Year and Date over to RELEASETIME in the format YYYY.MM.DD  
Also, my current songs have YYYYDDMM in RELEASETIME field. I just moved values in Year and Date over to RELEASETIME field. What expression can i use to convert those to YYYY.MM.DD?

thanks in advance
