My music collection is organised by using the year of album, therefore, I make sure while tagging that all the files have year tags.
Because not all the entries in Musicbrainz include a year, I sometimes need to manually enter this information.
Today, I loaded some of the files I tagged yesterday, only to notice that the manually entered years have vanished! :shock:
As a test, I re-entered the year for one album, saved, closed and reloaded the files; unfortunately, the year information came up blank again.
I’m saving as ID3v23 (the files include BPM and gain information tagged via Jriver Media Center 12)
Edited to add… As a test, I cleared all the tag information including BPM etc. from one album, then after updating via Musicbrainz, I manually added the year and saved; upon reloading, the year was missing like before.
The other issue I’m experiencing, is after adding artwork manually, I use ‘ctrl-c’ to copy the artwork field, so that I can paste the artwork onto the other files; unfortunately, it will not copy the newly added artwork field until you refocus the field (if you do not refocus, ‘ctrl-c’ will not work, and when you use ‘ctrl’v’ you can inadvertently end up pasting artwork from an earlier album).
Thank you in advance.
