Help with metadata for "Release Date" using "Audio Request" media player

There are lots of differences in the metadata between your 2 files.
For example:
"02 Music Sample Tagged by Audio Request.flac" has ID3v1 tags and Vorbis Comments where Release Time = January 1, 2020
"01 Music Sample Tagged by mp3tag.flac" has only Vorbis Comments and Release Time = Jan 1, 2020.
So it is difficult to do any detective work because there is too much extraneous information.

NB: Mp3tag does not expose ID3v1 tags in FLAC files: ID3v1 tags are not identified in FLAC files

I would start over like this:

  1. Create 2 identical FLAC files with no metadata.
  2. Use Audio Request to write only the tag field that concerns you into file #1.
  3. Load file #1 into Mp3tag and use "Extended Tags" to copy the field name and value. Don't edit file #1.
  4. Load file #2 into Mp3tag and use "Extended Tags" to create a new field. Paste the information copied from file #1 for field and value.
  5. Load file #2 into Audio Request and observe.

If there is still a discrepancy, you will now have 2 files that can be used for further investigation.
