This happens because we force the frame for year to TYER. It's deprecated in
ID3v2.4 but if we don't use it, Windows Explorer and Windows Media Player can't
see the Year tag. I've done a patch (attached) to set the year frame on Linux
to the correct TDRC using ID3_FRAME_YEAR. Tested on Ubuntu 10.10 (Rhythmbox and
Nautilus can now see the Year tag) and on Win 7 (tag is still TYER). Mac people
said the Year tag is already seen correctly on iTunes/QT in Audacity-exported
MP3s so I suggest it should be left "as is" for Mac.
