So, I was messing with MediaMonkey and the wanker has no setting to auto-edit ONLY the Tags you want to touch, and the dang thing among destroying many other Tags, also added this "double-date" format to it. Is this technically for compatibility the "format" dates should be in, i.e. 2001 (two slash…

For year, see here: [image] Duplicate year fields on random tracks Support Hey, Seemingly in random (both random tracks and random timing), Mp3Tag will mess up a track's year. It would change a track's year into a year//year format instead of simply year. For example, a …

I observed this kind of changes (e.g. 2007 to 2007//2007) if I use Native Instruments Traktor with set the function Write Any Tags Into File as on. I was thinking as above, that must be Mp3tag, but it was not. But I have duplicate some tags in Denon's HEOS app on TV, e.g. Artists (3 or 4 times). N…

[image] trucken: What I think, it is probably problem with tags write for Ape in Tag Settings of Mp3tag. I think that this is a myth. APE tags only caus trouble if you let them get out of sync. Then you usually get less data displayed than expected. Writing or reading APE does not necessaril…

Okay, so I get how to "remove" them if I want, but are the DATES "supposed" to be shown as double-dates with the slashes between? Cause, MediaMonkey did this to many/most of my files, and this is shown in Mp3tag, when before I used to have a single date.

So ask the folks at MediaMonkey why it ignores the existing YEAR field and writes another one. Mp3tag is only the messenger and reports accurately what is found in files.

Okay, so I did further testing with two plugins MediaMonkey has which apparently ensure the proper ID3 formatting standards for separators is used, and it now is clear that: When you separate Artists, Genres, and also use the Year standard rather than the exact date, that the actual ID3 standard …

Does this MM plug-in define where it has defined the “proper” ID3 tag from? I cannot comprehend how showing the year twice can be considered ideal. Same for any other tag. If there are different field values, that would make sense… sort of.

The 2 backslashes are teh way that MP3tag shows multi-value fields. These 2 backslahes are not really in the data as the fields are separated by a binary zero in reality. The way MP3tag displays it is just a help for the user to see that there are more than one field of the same type in a file. Che…

[image] Double records in YEAR ex (2012/2012) Support Have a loook with the extended Tag-View (ALT-t). You will see that there are 2 year-tag-fields. In the extended tag-view you can delete one of these. There is also an action of the type "Remove Duplicate Fields". A …

Unfortunately, not my issue... There is ONLY "one" Year Tag. So, looks like I have duplicate dates "within" the same Tag field for some reason, and it appears to have been the plugin for MediaMonkey that removes the full date, replacing it with the year. Some reason it thinks that the double-date…

Is the Date format actually supposed to be a "Double-Date"...? i.e. 1999\\1999
