I've been tagging a lot of music using the discogs plug-in and have been adding release dates to the tags.

I've been using Musicbee application and have been trying to see this info in my library, however it doesn't display when selecting the "release time" tag field.

It seems it only works if you use the "episode date" tag in musicbee, this will get it display the data that mp3tag has written to the file.

Why aren't they showing correctly? I'm using "TDRL" in ID3v2.3

When I inspect the tags (written with mp3tag) with musicbee it shows:

When setting Musicbee to view the tag as 'episode date' why does it also show the time in the tag even though mp3tag didn't write that?

When I then write a RELEASETIME tag in Musicbee then view extended tag info in mp3tag, it just shows the field TDRL and doesn't interpret it's name correctly?

The only way I can seem to get this working is "ORIGYEAR" (TORY TDOR ) but all my tracks - through using mp3tag releasetime saved?

Ultimately why doesn't mp3tag seem to be writing RELEASETIME correctly? Or if it does, why can't other apps correctly read this info (even when set to correctly do so)?
