Hi, lately I've been doing some retagging / cleanup on old albums and I just realized that many of them where getting tagged with very recent dates. For example, when tagging "Let It Bleed" from The Stones (initially released in 1968), it get a date in 2002 ! When looking at the musicbrainz release (automatically) selected during import, it make some sense : http://musicbrainz.org/release/b2ca3b22-f3cc-40c0-b2d3-f4e1d6602106 2002 is the date for this specific release, so it's not completely wrong, yet it's definitively not what I'm looking for nor the info I want to be displayed in my library.
I've experimented reimporting with the timid option and selecting manually the id of the original release on imdb : it works but is quite tedious (the orginial release is not even in the list of the proposed candidates) and it requires to first identify all mis-dated albums (as there where imported automatically with -q, I did not realize immediately that the previously correct date were being overwritten ...) I don't remember seeing this behavior before (and I've been using beets for some years now), is that something new, voluntary or bug ? Is there any way to get the date for the original release instead ? thanks ! Pierre -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "beets" group.
