How to access to the year (yyyy) tag?

[fiodeste]

I've got a few albums made by the same artists in the same year, but I don't want to display the month in the 'year' tag to sort them. I've read that for that I need the 'year (yyyy)' tag, but I can't seem to find it anywhere. Please help.

You can either type

Code

<Year (yyyy)>

or you can select it from the very bottom of the field selector. Are you not seeing it in a specific place? Where are you trying to use it?

Sorry, I'm quite new at musicbee. I was trying to find it in the 'edit' menu, in the tags, but it's not there.
Where is the field selector?
Thanks for replying btw!

Ok nevermind I made a virtual tag with the year (yyyy) thing, but where can I modify it for a specific song?

The tag "Year (yyyy)" takes the value from the field "Year" and reduces it to the first 4 digits in that tag which of course gives you the year. That value comes from the value in the field highlighted below:

As you can see the date part "06-22" has been removed, which is what the tag "Year (yyyy)" does.


The field selector is accessed by right-click in this area and selecting "Set Displayed Fields":

Perfect! I made it. Thank you so much!

Well, I'm still having trouble with the album's order. I added the month to all the albums with the same years so it would be in chronological order but when I refresh it or click 'year' so it would sort the songs by year, nothing changes. What am I doing wrong?
