Questions / How to "SAVE Multiple Files" at the same time with the Tag Editor in MusicBee?
« on: May 25, 2022, 08:49:33 AM »
So, I'm proceeding to convert all my files over to ID3 2.4 from 2.3 and hoping to **** every player me (or my sons whom I'm passing my music collection on to) use don't have issues with the 2.4 standard.
While I can add the NULL separator between multivalues in Mp3tag without a problem, Mp3tag has no way to add the special double "Year" tags as MusicBee does (per this pic).

Per Steven this is being done on purpose for this reason:
In other words, there being two years is because there are two different "types" of Year tags, and this is needed for some people for the year to be displayed.
Anyway, MusicBee is the only tag editor that I know of that adds these so I'm needing to save multiple files at a time in MusicBee so these tags are created.
However, it seems MusicBee can't save "more than one" file at a time? I can of course save "more than one file" at a time in other tag editors, but again they can't create these null separated/different standard year tags, they will only create "one", whichever one they use (which I also can't seem to know).
This would be useful in general when people switch from 2.3 to 2.4, so all files can be converted over to the new standard. So, this isn't just as issue with these particular tags. People in general would need to save many files at once to convert their files.
So, how can I save more than one file at a time so all my files are converted over to the ID3 2.4 standard, and per my issue these double year tags are created...?
Thanks

TYER is intentionally written in addition to TDRC, even though TYER is not a v2.4 tag. The reason i have commented in the code is for backwards compatibility which i recall was an issue for some people.
