but then in the tag import panel is only 4 digit (&year)

is there some way to importa 8 digit date-[ YYYY/MM/DD]?

The id3 standard says that YEAR is a 4-digit-number.
Check the extended tags dialogue and see whether the year is really concatenated to 4 digits or whether only the field width is too small.

A good field for longer dates would be RELEASETIME.

i can add 8 digit date just fine in the tag panel, the problem is when importing tags from the internet like freedb, discogs and musicbrainz, only 4 digit year is available

is there no way to customize the field so it gets the 8 digit date release date?

thanks

As you have noticed: MP3tag does not remove anything following the 4 digits.
The question is: what does your player make of it - if it is a standard-obeying implementation, then more than 4 digits may cause problems.

The web source scripts are pain text files. You can check if there is an instruction that cuts the data for year down to 4 digits and remove that instruction.
Or you may find that you have to append the web source script so that it puts data in RELEASETIME.
And then there is always the question: does the source's results page supply more than 4 digits (which is 10 characters in your example)

i use foobar2000, and always 8 digit date, but its quite a hassle to find the albums release date and manually input it. Would be much less time consuming if i could do it automatically via import tag

thanks
