The year shows up as `YEAR\\YEAR` in the tag panel. Is it possible to have two different years? For example, suppose you have a greatest hits album. You want to show the release date of the album in the first year and the actual release date of the song in the second year.
I have discovered that Plex has issues with the year not matching that in Music Brainz. This is causing me heartburn because I like to use the song year in such cases.
Thanks,
Walt

See e.g. here:

> I know, this is slightly off topic, because it's Audacity related, but since we have so many smart people here, I would like to ask it anyway: I'm usin Audacity to digitize vinyl and radio sources. I mark the tracks, add the metadata [artist name], [album title] [year] and [genre] and then I use "export multiple" to write the mp3 files. Everything works like a charm. When I open the file im MP3Tag, it has an additional YEAR tag: [Bild 2 - 2021-06-24--12-06] No MP3 Software will display this…

I use Audacity as well and have noticed this. I've done some research on it, but I haven't found anything useful.

What about this:

> Using mp3tagv2.73 with Windows 7 sp1 Home premium. When I edit a ID3.2 tag in Audacity and then view the tag with Mp3Tag, some of the fields (perhaps only the numeric ones like "Year", e.g.; 2015 show up as 2015\\2015. When I reopen the file in Audacity and other editors it displays correctly.
