Recording Year vs Release Year #436

Open 766F6964 opened 2 months ago

I was adjusting some tags on some of my music, and I noticed that certain applications pointed out the mp3 doesn't have a date, even tho I set a year in tagger. One example of such an application is Gramophone: https://github.com/AkaneTan/Gramophone/issues/171

Turns out, this has to do with two different properties: release year and recording year. I was expecting that tagger updates the release year, because that is what I expected by "Year". However, inspecting the file after tagging with id3v2, the year field is empty.

So, I think it would make sense to either expose all the fields related to "year". And I think the release year should be the default. Right now the UI just says "Year" and it is not clear what tag exactly will be set.

I can make it so Tagger modifies both the recording and release year when the Year property is modified.

That sounds like a good idea.
