The MP3 format module already does this and makes assumptions about
which date is preferred. (Though, and my perl may be rusty, I think the
comment is incorrect.)
Code:
--------------------
# prefer release date over recording time etc.
if (!$tags->{YEAR}) {
my $year;
foreach ( qw(TDOR XDOR TDRC TYER TDAT) ) {
$year ||= $tags->{$_};
delete $tags->{$_};
}
$tags->{YEAR} ||= $year if $year;
}
--------------------
To me, this says checking TDOR, XDOR, TDRC, TYER and TDAT in this order,
use whichever has a value first as the year.
What I found online for each tag is:

So, if my understanding of the code is correct than, if present, the
first thing used for the year would be "'Original release time' ... a
timestamp describing when the original recording of the audio was
released" which is what I would like used for FLAC, Original Release
Date or Original Release Year.
