"Album year" vs "Original track release date"

I have a CD with release date 2006. The CD contains tracks that have original release dates from the 70s and the 80s. Does RadioDJ support the ID3 tag for "Original Release Date"? In the info window I see only the Year, and that is occupied by the year the CD was released.

I don't think this is supported, at least not yet anyway...
I got around this by simply editing the info with the "original release date" rather than the CD release date.

Thx  Capt_Fuzzy. I thought of this, but then again I need to redo all ID3 tags, over several thousands of tracks. So no thanks ;). For now I opted to do a CD per CD import and assign the track to the correct subcategory era manually. Then at the least I do not lose the CD date information.

Marius?  :angel:

Check out mp3tag http://www.mp3tag.de/en/ tagging software.  What you want to do should take a couple of minutes to do, which is essentially copying one tag field to another.
