Adding the Release Date

Another basic one that I cant figure out
There is an option called "Release Date" when you look at the tabs for Movies and TV Shows in iTunes but how on earth do you put a date in there.
Cant find any box anywhere to add a date
Stumped !! Anyone ?

In looking thru my library, I only see release dates listed for my iTunes purchases. I think it must be the date files are released in the iTunes store. I have purchased very "old" tunes from ITMS, songs from the seventies, that have a release date of 2006 or something. I don't see a release date listed on any of my ripped songs.

  • Adding or modifying the Release date on MUSIC

    I like to create play lists based on when the music was released. Many of my songs do not have a release date and I have been unable to find a way to enter the correct dates.
    It would also be nice if the smart playlist would include the release date field for sorting.
    The year field is a mystery to me. I have albums that by default say 2001 when the album was released in the 70's. I assume this is the year it was made available to Apple.

    The release date field annoyingly cannot be edited without using an external application. Using tagging software such as Musicbrainz Picard will achieve this, but updates all of the tracks metadata with that in the Musicbrainz database. You can read more about Musicbrainz here:
    http://musicbrainz.org/
    Alternatively, try an app like Kid3 Tag Editor to manually edit release date and other tags:
    http://sourceforge.net/projects/kid3/
    The reason the year tag is wrong for older releases is because it is the release year of the particular reissue rather than the original release year. So, for example, The Beatles 2009 remasters would have '2009" in the year tag.

  • Edit the release date of a podcast ?

    Hello everyone !
    I have a question regarding iTunes and podcasts management. I really enjoy a specific podcast, which I follow from a few monthes. A friend of mine has given me the whole archives of the show, from more than two years, as plain mp3 files. I successfully added them to iTunes, then specified them as podcasts so that they would appear in the right section of the library.
    But there is a glitch : the old podcasts do not have a release date, on the contrary to the more recent ones that I have downloaded from the iTunes store. I would like to manually edit the release dates of the old files so that they fit with the new ones, but I can't seem to find the corresponding field in the informations window...
    So if any of you have a solution, I would be very interested !
    Thanks in advance !

    (I'm running iTunes 10.4.1 (10) and Mac OS X 10.7.1)

    Hi, Thomas. It took me several hours of scouring the Internet and testing solutions on my computer, but I finally have answers for you:
    This will be a comprehensive answer that includes solutions to some things you may not have asked about. It's so I can copy this answer into several other threads where similar questions are being asked.
    Q: How do I add an mp3 podcast file to Mac iTunes 10.6.3 (the latest version as of July 13, 2012)?
    1. Open iTunes, go to the FILE menu, select ADD TO LIBRARY, select your mp3 file in the dialog box, and click on Open.
    2. The file will most likely have been added to your Music library and not your Podcast library. If this is the case, select the newly-added podcast in your Music library, go to the FILE menu, select GET INFO, click on the OPTIONS tab of the dialog box, change the MEDIA KIND dropdown menu to "Podcast," and click on OK. Your mp3 podcase should move to the Podcasts library.
    Q: Now that I've added the mp3 podcast to my Podcasts library in iTunes, how do I change the release date so that it shows up in the proper order with all the other podcasts in that series?
    1. Download the program ID3 Editor from http://www.pa-software.com/id3editor/
    2. After you've downloaded, extracted, and moved the application to your Applications folder, open ID3 Editor.
    3. Go to the FILE menu in ID3 Editor and choose OPEN and select your mp3 file from the iTunes Music folder (not the original mp3 which may be in a different location on your computer). If you don't know where it is, go to iTunes, right-click (or <Control>-click) on the podcast, and select SHOW IN FINDER to see its exact location. The usual path is USER NAME > MUSIC > iTUNES MUSIC > PODCASTS > folder with name of podcast.
    4. Your podcast will open in ID3 Editor with the Standard tab active. Click on the EXTENDED tab to see the RELEASED tag field.
    5. In the RELEASED tag field, add or change the podcast release date to whatever you want it to be. The format is 2012-07-13 16:30:00 (YYYY-MM-DD HH:MM:SS).
    6. Click on UPDATE in the lower left and the file will close with your changes saved.
    7. Select the newly-updated podcast in your Music library, go to the FILE menu, select GET INFO, and click on OK to update the information in iTunes. The podcast should now move to the proper place in order when sorted by Release Date.
    Q: My podcasts are in different folders instead of all being in the same folder. How do I group them back together?
    1. To make all your podcasts show up in the same folder, the IDENTIFIER and FEED tags need to match for all podcasts.
    2. Open ID3 Editor and open all of the podcasts you want to group in iTunes under one folder. (Remember to open the files from within the iTunes Music > Podcasts folder and not from your desktop or Documents folder where you may have stored originals downloaded from the podcast's website.)
    3. For each mp3 file opened in ID3 Editor, switch from the Standard tab to the PODCASTS tab.
    4. If you have a podcast that shows up properly in iTunes and should be the default name/location for all the other disparate podcasts in the series, bring that file's window forward and copy the URL from its IDENTIFIER field.
    5. For every other mp3 file for that podcast that you have open in ID3 Editor, PASTE that URL in to the respective IDENTIFIER field for each one.
    6. From the same file you copied the Identifier URL, now copy the FEED URL.
    7. For every other mp3 file for that podcast that you have open in ID3 Editor, PASTE that URL in to the respective FEED field for each one.
    8. For every podcast file, make sure ENABLE PODCAST TAG is checked (in the upper left of the Podcast tab).
    9. Now you have to number all the files properly. To do that, you need to be in the STANDARD tab in ID3 Editor.
    10. Count up the total number of podcasts in the series you're consolidating. That TOTAL# number will go in the second TRACK field in the upper left (i.e., Track # of TOTAL#)
    11. In the first TRACK field in the upper left, number your files in the order you want them to be listed (i.e., TRACK# of Total#). Also put the TRACK# in the TRACK field in the upper right (next to "Enable V1 tag").
    12. Click on UPDATE in the lower left of each file to close each one with your changes saved.
    13. For each of the newly-updated podcast files in your Music library, select it so that it's highlighted, go to the FILE menu, select GET INFO, and click on OK to update the information in iTunes. Once you've done this for every file, all podcasts in the series should be under one folder. (If not, make sure the ALBUM field matches exactly for each file.)
    I hope the above resolves all the difficulties you've experienced with Podcasts in iTunes. If not, let me know and I'll add more detail (or correct any inadvertent errors in my instructions).

  • When I download a podcast on my iPhone why is the release date missing? This really screws up the sort order.

    when I download a podcast on my iPhone why is the release date missing? This really screws up the sort order.

    Hello yung ron,
    It may be that your iPhone's set to sync automatically, which can potentially remove any music that's been added to the device. It may help to set the device to 'manual mode,' so that you have complete and total control over what content is on the device.

  • Cheating the Released date in order to be listed on top

    My book is in the iBookstore, just released this week. But if you search by "Released Date", it doesnt show up in the first 100 listings. The first 100+ listings are publishers who are cheating the release date, putting things like January 5, 2025, or several December 2013 or 2014 dates in order to show up at the top of the list. I have emailed itunesconnect about this, but no answer so far.

    And how is the phone supposed to know if it's you or a thief pressing the Sleep/Wake Button and sliding to power off? 
    You want a passcode required to power off the device?  So... what if you forget your password?  What then?

  • What table is the Release Date of MIRO Invoice Block stored on?

    I'm attempting to track the timeframe between the date when a block is placed on an invoice vs the date that the block is released.  I realize in the application you can see the release date through document changes...but can anyone tell me what table the release date is stored on forf reporting purposes?
    Is there a standard t-code that would display both the date the block is placed and the date the block is released?
    Thanks.

    Hi Jan,
    in table CDHDR you can see the last person that changed the object. To release an invoice causes saving the object. Therefore the person releasing blocked Invoices is the last changer.
    Check wit transaction SE16 table CDHDR with "Change doc. object" = "INCOMINGINVOICE" and "Object value" your invoice number.
    Hope this helps.
    Regards
    C.S.

  • Nokia Music - Where can I find the release date fo...

    There is a song that I really like and I was very pleased when I found it, 'till I realised it wasn't available for download or streaming. There is an album version that is available but I would rather wait for the soundtrack version. I just wish I could find the release date ???????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????
    Any clues, anyone
    Ps
    Its called Bad Things by Jace Everett and is the soundtrack for True Blood.

    Hi!
    The soundtrack version of this song is not available on its own, which means you can get it by downloading the whole album (http://music.nokia.co.uk/NokiaMusic/Product.aspx?id=OD2DI6685689).
    I notices that the streaming function did not work (button becomes an X) so this will be looked in to.

    When is the release date for the 5th generation iPod touch?

    Nobody knows (except for apple of course). All it says on the ipod touch page that it ships in October so it could be any date. I predict that it is in the first two weeks of October but when it says buy it now instead of pre-order you know its about to come out.

  • Will Lightroom 4 ever support Nikon's D4S net files? If so is they an idea of the release date?

    Will Lightroom 4 ever support Nikon's D4S net files? If so is they an idea of the release date?  I don't mind upgrading to 5 but unfortunately it doesn't work with my OS for Mac and I shouldn't have to upgrade both and don't want to...

    Well BAD BAD me... I ASSUMED it worked because I could install it on my mac 10.6 but guess what... 8.3 won't support the D4S files.  I swear I am in a never ending loop of hell.  I really shouldn't have to upgrade my WHOLE operating system AND buy the newest version of Lightroom that I don't need just because I got a new camera. THIS IS CRAZY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
