Hello. I switched from winamp and now a lot of my dates show up twice. Ex: 2000, 2000. This also separates my albums sometimes. Is there anything I can do to correct this?

Thanks

I used MediaMonkey to check for dupe files, retag my music from Amazon sources and add in-tag album art and while reloading tags to Foobar came across a similar issue, with multiple (i.e. more than 2) dates.
Additionally, multiple entry artists and such have been converted to plain ';' separated tags, which blew my mind.
I managed to create a "split by splitter" script to rearrange my artists, but couldn't find a way to get rid of the extra dates. Is there any workaround or fix to those issues?

In the Properties dialog, right-click on the date and chose "Format from other fields" (requires 0.9.5).

Set the pattern to $meta(date,0).

I've always been a fan of musicbrainz, although I like the idea of adding album art I'll have to look into it.


Thanks! Substituting $meta(date,0) for %date% did it.
