Date Field Display
blgentry:
Maybe you can use MP3Tag to copy your existing DATE tag to a new tag name? Choose a name like "DateRange" or something that won't be a standard field name. Then you can import that field into MC. You'll need to create the exact same named field in MC's library and then import your files. Try one file and see if it works.

MP3 tag is a very useful program but is not needed in this case. I have provided a solution upthread to copy the value in the Date field to another field within JRiver
Dr.Ames:
I like JRiver very much and I don't regret buying a new license. Still, the switch from Foobar seems more painful than I thought. I have a very large music library with many self ripped CDs(formerly EAC, then dbpoweramp) and many hi-res albums. dbpoweramp in particular often generated very long file names, but these were never a problem for Foobar. JRiver, however, did not want to read in several thousand tracks and I had to make all kinds of shortenings in the folder - and file names over several hours - the option to support longer names was enabled, of course. On top of that, I can't see the precise date labels now either.
However, JRiver scores in the most important point clearly ahead of Foobar, because now I can listen to my DSD and Hi-Res albums without any interference or restarts of the program, as Foobar weakened there more often and JRiver is perfect there, at least so far. :)

I think you misunderstand what he's trying to do. He has information in a Date field, outside of JRiver, that has more than one date in it. JRiver can't read that. So it needs to go into a more generic field name that JRiver will read as a plain sequence of characters instead of trying to convert it to a single date.

Yes, I missed "outside of JRiver". It makes a lot more sense now.
