Puddletag ( linux ) can easilly be setup to retrive only years for example.
But the online databases are not always to be trusted they are often wrong and sometimes i disagree with correct info . I prefer the original release year of the recording for example an old recording originally done before digital. Led Zeppelin 1 I want the year to be 1969 , not whenever one of the numerous cd versions was released. But in the best case these online databases report the cd release year. I have not experimented with multiple year tags or a tag separator , that would be an aproach with multiple remaster. There is an origyear tag ? How well suported is that one ? So to fit personal prefs some hands on jobb is needed anyway, my aproach to year is a historical timeline of when the music was made not when they printed my copy , but thats often the only thing you get from the cd case . Amg or wikipedia can have info . What did I just say ? There is no way to *really* automate tagging, but you can do it anyway but be preperad to accept some anomalies and errors. Automating years would give very little music before 1985-1990 Have in mind that most of the content of these dB's is uploaded by other amateur users. -- Mnyb -------------------------------------------------------------------- Main hifi: Touch + CIA PS +MeridianG68J MeridianHD621 MeridianG98DH 2 x MeridianDSP5200 MeridianDSP5200HC 2 xMeridianDSP3100 +Rel Stadium 3 sub.
