First off -- hope you're staying healthy & sane! As for the latter, JRiver is certainly a solid source of solace in these troubled times.
Minor "issue" I'd never really noticed before the other day (too much time on my hands w telework) -- when MC analyzes audio & writes the appropriate tags, it takes the FLAC VORBIS_COMMENT DATE= tag and drops it properly as an Excel datenum as JR_DATE= (i.e., # of days since 1 Jan 1900), but then rewrites the DATE= truncated to year-only. Can this be stopped (i.e., I'd like to keep the original date tag in my FLAC files)?

Using MC for Mac 26.0.39 and an example here:

Tool's Fear Innoculum started with:

DATE=2019-08-30

and after the audio was analyzed, it was left with

DATE=2019
JR_DATE=43707

This is moot in MC, as that reads JR_DATE from the metadata, but I use other software with those FLAC files, too. A short Python script to convert between the two was no issue, but I'd like to see the DATE= tag unchanged post-analysis.

Thanks!

You might want to check this thread, it explains the logic better that I can.
