Year tag appears to be wrong - showing 1900 for many (all?!) files #524

System: Windows 7 Pro 64-bit. Tomahawk Version: 0.8.4

When viewing properties of local .mp3 files, Tomahawk shows the year as 1900 even when it is not.

I have only tested a small selection of files from my collection, not all of them...

When the file properties are viewed in Windows File Properties or in other media players the year is displayed correctly.

I assume some default is appearing for some reason...

Looking in the 'songs' view and ordering by year, I can see that a very small number of tracks have the year displayed correctly. Not sure what the difference is with these tracks.

I have the exact same problem, my files are FLAC with vorbis tags so it is not a uniquely mp3 / ID3 tag issue.
