MediaMonkey 3 and 4, by default save Year and Date metadata in ID3 v2.3 tags
to TYER / TDRC frames. Although this is generally a good approach for
maximum compatibility, some users may wish to change this since TDRC is
normally associated with ID3 v2.4 tags and Winamp will not read the
TDRC field for an ID3v2.3 tag. This can be done by modifying
MediaMonkey's .ini file with the following section which allows you to
enable/disable frames at will:
[MP3Tagging]
DisableFrames=TDAT;TDRC
EnableFrames=TYER
To also solve the problem of Original Year being saved twice, the MP3Tagging
section in MediaMonkey.ini should look like this:
[MP3Tagging]
DisableFrames=TDRC;TDOR;
EnableFrames=TYER;TDAT;TORY;
This disables the ID3v2.4 TDOR which MM is using for Original Year, and enables use
of the ID3v2.3 TORY, intended for original release year.
