When editing out full date in Year to only year it still shows full date in Foobar Date. Or sometimes it shows just year in Year and full date appears in Foobar Date. Annoying...

Check your collection for files that have the fields YEAR and DATE. And also see whether you have files with APE tags but for which you do not update the APE tags. Foobar puts the values of YEAR (TYER) and DATE (TDAT) together into 1 field.

[image] Moje1963: In the Year (År) if there's like "2025-01-10" and I delete "-01-10" it still shows full date in Foobar so Mp3tag doesn't do it correct. Do you save your changes? CTRL-S or [image] or Menue File -> Save Tag

OK, I only use mp3 in the library and use mp3tag to organize/edit tags. FairStars Audio Converter Pro for converting FLAC/APE...to mp3... So mp3tag doesn't deal with all the date tags?

[image] Moje1963: So mp3tag doesn't deal with all the date tags? How do you get that idea? What was the result of the check for the DATE field? Use a filter %date% PRESENT and if there are any files in the file list, then check in Foobar if these are the files which show more than you wan…

I can't see any other place to edit the "Year" in mp3tag and still end up with the full date... I'll have to get back on the check with an album that get the problem...

[image] Moje1963: place to edit the "Year" The problem is: There are several fields that deal with dates. YEAR is a 4-digit-field for the year only. It would be interesting, which program wrote an invalid date format into this field. YEAR in MP3tag maps to the TYER token in MP3 files But tha…
