Hi there,
Firstly, superb software - a credit to the developers and testers. Would anyone be able to assist with a fairly simple question, please? I have searched the forum but haven't been able to find an answer.
I am looking to append the iTunes 'Date Added' field to the ID3 tag Comments field. So far through the powers of Google I've so far been able to get as far as a Format value of:
**%comment% ~ %\_file\_create\_date%**
However this gives me the date the file was actually created, rather than added to my iTunes collection. I'm wondering if there is a value for Date Added?
Many thanks in advance.

You can look at the extended tags with Alt-T to see if there is such a date.
Actually, I doubt that as it is an iTunes internal date that exists only in the database but not in the file.
