Hi, I've been using mp3tag to manually edit my mp3s with great success. I have a few thousand songs (many actually), with correct artist and title tags only, but no year tag. Now I want to use "tag sources" to get only the year tag (ideally the fist year of release of any particular song), and possibly (but not necessarily) the genre tag. First I tried freedb, but for any given track, the results were always wrong, it never got the song right. So I then tried musicbrainz, which pops up a box "Search by:Album title" which I don't have. So then I installed the discogs pone 2.7 script, and used the "search by album artist and title", which finds the correct album, but not the correct song (I have to manually align the song from the right box, with the correct one on the left box), so when I proceed, it changes all the tags of my mp3. I only want to add the year tag, and leave all the other tags as they were, but not do it completely manually, is there a way to speed up this process? Any suggestions are welcome. --- _[View the full topic](https://community.mp3tag.de/t/have-artist-and-title-need-year/11779)._
