Hello, I am new to using mp3tag and would appreciate some help formatting metadata. When viewing albums in my iPhone, I would like to be able to incorporate exact release dates (not just the release year) and copyright in the display of albums that I've added to my library manually. However, all my …

These are not really standard metadata fields. They are xml data written into a custom iTunes comment field.

COPYRIGHT gives you the copyright text, and YEAR will have to be formatted YYYY-MM-DD

Is there a metadata field that I am missing to make this work? I have read other threads where users have claimed that they've solved the issue, with the end result being that the full release date is written out, formatted as "[name of month written out] [day of month], [year]".

I've tried formatting the YEAR field as YYYY-MM-DD, but it has not worked. Some have said it needs to be formatted "YYYY-MM-DD" + the letter "T" + "HH:MM:SS" + the letter "Z", but that also has not worked for me.

It is how I described it. But remember that you can’t just change the metadata and it will be synced to the iPhone. You have to remove the file, sync and then upload it. As is mentioned the Music app stores the data on device as an xml file and will not automatically trigger load of the metadata fro…

For Apple Music and iTunes it is the Copyright field, it is up to the record label to decide if they add only ℗ (phonogram copyright) or/also © (copyright for the work outside of the recording itself).

Sorry, I have to admit that I didn't clarify in my previous post that this is not possible to do with mp3 files. And the info about the xml data is specifically for video files in iTunes. I've edited that earlier post now to avoid confusion. Apologies for misguiding anyone. As @AreDigg correctly ha…
