Comment 14 for bug 581113

(In reply to comment #10)
RESOLVED - FIXED despite id3 on Ubuntu now can't see the Audacity Year tag when it could before the committed fix.

Tested exported MP3 and MP2 containing Year tag (TYER and TDRC) on all three platforms (including WMP, VLC, Foobar and iTunes on Windows, iTunes on Mac and id3, eyed3 and Nautilus on Ubuntu 11.10 and 12.04.

The only problem was with id3 - it does not see MP2 or MP3 exported with the current TYER and TDRC tags, nor can it see TDRC on its own, only MP2 or MP3 files that have a single TYER tag. So id3 will lose out of this, but far more apps will gain. I'm still going to call it RESOLVED-FIXED as I don't see much else we can do, but have noted this in summary bug 51 and will write to id3. Paradoxically, Nautilus which could not see TYER on its own when the bug was raised now can, so id3 is out of step.

Winamp have now fixed that issue.

The issue Winamp reported to us (Audacity non-default ID3 frames rewritten as TXXX) is already at bug 541.
