Year vs Release Date?

What's the difference between the Release Date field and the Year field in iTunes?
The Release Date field is one that you can't view or edit in iTunes, but for any song you've bought from the iTunes Store, it's in there. This becomes apparent when you view the song on an Apple TV. The Release Date is shown.
So, is the Release Date field really just there for Apple's own use, only for songs bought from the iTunes Store?

I've noticed the same thing. Apple has always been inconsistent about what tags get used to sort information. I don't know why they would choose to only display a tag the user can't alter.
What I find worse is that songs from the iTS sometimes have the realease date of the CD. For older content that date is often much later then the actual release date. But it's easy to change the date in the iTunes tag editor so that a song will show up in a temporal smart playlist (ie:70's music). But TV looks at the copyright date. It seems so much simpler just to make TV look at the year field. Then it would work consistently for both ripped and iTS music.
If you use Lostify to tag a ripped movie or TV show you can insert a date in the copyright field and it will show up on the TV. However, Lostify can't alter audio only files or any file bought form the iTS.
One can only hope that the first software update to TV will change the behavior. I can't find an TV feedbake link so I don't know where to voice my concern. I'm glad to see some else interested in getting this fixed.

External purchase order release date is not calculated

In our live system, when creating external purchase orders from tasks within work orders, system does not calculate the release date of purchase order as explained in the documentation (planned delivery date - planned delivery time). Strangely, when the calculated release date does not lie within the current year release date is assigned to the creation date. When calculated release date lies within the same year, correct release date is assigned to the PO.
Althogh our development and productive systems have exactly the same patch level, we do not experience this behaviour on our development system. This makes me think that the problem is due to system-dependent setting or some master data such as factory calendar.
How could we correct the problem? Thanks in advance.

We don't have a release strategy for PReq.
On the Preq Item -> quantites/ dates tab there are 3 dates: delivery date, request date and release date. In MRP process, the release date is calculated by the sytem based on planned delivery time and GR processing time. The PReq should be changeable by MRP up to the release date. On the release date the system should transfer PReq to SRM and mark the PReqs
as u2018firmedu2019 u2013 not changeable. This is a SAP standard process. Worked well with EPRTRANS.
BADI ME_REQ_SOURCING_CUST imethod CHECK_EXTERNAL_SOURCE is already implemented. The BADI controls what requirements to send to SRM.
We tried putting a check for Release date like: if release date is = < than system date , send PReq to SRM:
if is_req_item-FRGDT le sy-datum.
cv_ext_sourcing = cl_mmpur_constants=>yes.
It does stop new PReqs with release date in future from coming to SRM. However, the BADI is not retriggered for the same PReq when the release date reached.
Can you please guide me through the implementation steps? If it possible to retrigger the PI message via a scheduled process?
Thank you

Can you sort albums by release date, rather than year, in album view?

I love the new album view in iTunes 11, but the only problem I have with it is sometimes albums are in the wrong order.
For example, last year Green Day released a trilogy of albums called ¡Uno!, ¡Dos! and ¡Tré! but since they were released in the same year, they're ordered as ¡Dos!, ¡Tré, ¡Uno! when sorted by artist and then year which really doesn't sit right with me.
In short, the sorting options for albums view are very limited, is there any way to extend them?
Also I'm aware that I could, as a cheap fix, change the sorting in album to the release date backwards, but I'd rather not do that as it would make it a bit more troublesome for me to navigate my albums on my iPhone.
Thanks!

I agree that Apple should improve the year field to be an actual date.
I am not 100% happy doing this, but when you have multiple albums from a single artist for the same release year, a temporary solution is to chage the album title by adding an outline type letter before album titles for that year, so that they appear in the correct order:
David Bowie
1977
a. Low
David Bowie
1977
b. "Heroes"
etc
This could help in the short term until Apple changes that field.

Release Date for Albums Year, MONTH DAY

Why can't I enter the release date for albums (Year month and day)?   Itunes has a field for year but that's it.    I would have loved to be at the meeting where it was discussed.
"Year, month and day? why the heck would any want that?"
"Well a lot of us want to see our albums in chronological order and you can't do that with just the year, many albums come out every year"
"Blah Blah Blah, music is just to dance to, no one cares about dates, besides it would four extra digit fields in each entry"
But seriously, I would think that Itunes would aspire to be THE program for music lovers.
Instead of being able to just enter the release dates I have had to come up with my own work around. I put a the release date in the format yyyymmdd in fromt of each title and then sort by titles.
Now all of my Beatle albums finally show up in chronological order by release date.   But why should I have to massage the data like this.   I can't imagine what goes on at Itunes planning sessions. I'm very unhappy about the loss of cover flow but that's another story.

I'm glad to hear that I am not the only one who sees this as a problem. And another Beatles fan too.
This is so fundamental. Every album has a release date and it's part of the data that is always associated with that album.   Why did Apple look at the data available for an album and consciously decide to truncate it?
What kind of music lover isn't aware of when albums are released? I just don't get it.
I like having the date yyyymmdd in front of each album.   It isn't pretty but it means the albums are chronological.   If you want, you could just put this in the sort field and leave the regular album title in the regular field.   Then the names would be right and they would sort correctly.   But again. Why should we have to do all that?
Apple is busy constantly changing where the controls are on I tunes rather than fixing something simple and important like this.
Today I wanted to load some songs onto my ipod touch and it took me 10 minutes to figure out how to sync because the last itunes update got rid of the side bar.
How are you supposed to get comfortable using a product when they keep moving the controls around?   Just quit apple.   leave the controls where they are. Add new controls if needed but stop moving them. I know I'm ranting now but I am honestly angry and frustrated,

Best way to show movie release date by year under "Movies" section

I am a proud owner of a new 2nd gen Apple TV. It does everything I hoped. I am using IDentity 2 to capture the movie Metadata and import into a new m4v file. All data is trnsferred into iTunes. The question: What is the best way to have the release year show in Apple TV? I currently have a description, actor, director, time, etc showing. The Metadata is taken from IMDB, so the release date is listed in the video description when I "get info" in iTunes. As you can imagine, I don't want to manually input the release year in every movie file name. Any suggestions?

No asnswer. I can't find an answer on the web either. How many more years till Apple fixes this?

ITunes 9 / MP3 IDv2.4 Year / Release date tag problems

Hi,
I keep all my CD's as FLAC on a Linux workstation; I want to keep a copy in MP3 format in iTunes. I've got around 5000 tracks; on Linux the tag looks as follows:
[andrewtaylor@precision mp3]$ eyeD3 Blur/1991/Leisure/01\ -\ She\'s\ So\ High.mp3
01 - She's So High.mp3 [ 5.45 MB ]
Time: 04:44 MPEG1, Layer III [ ~160 kb/s @ 44100 Hz - Joint stereo ]
ID3 v2.4:
title: She's So High artist: Blur
album: Leisure year: 1991
track: 1 genre: Alternative (id 20)
You can see that the year is 1991. I've copied this to my Mac and when I import it to itunes (and this is the same for all 5000 tracks) the year is missing, but the release date is set to 1/12/1991.
The 'show info' option of Finder shows no year information and no release date information.
If I go back to Linux and remove the IDv2 tag and keep only the IDv1 tag; both the Finder and iTunes is able to see the year field and use it properly.
Anyone got any ideas? I understand that if IDv2 tags are present, iTunes will ignore the IDv1 tag; however, it must be using the year in some capacity to set the release date.
Many thanks
Andrew

I've heard that something about iTunes and v2.4 just don't match up, iTunes along with many other music programs have problems with v2.4. I'd sugest converting everything to v2.3

Anyone know the OFFICIAL RELEASE DATE of it in Australia ? I want to order it online but my mum doesnt have a credit card, lol .

Table for Invoice release date

Hello,
Can anyone tell me the table name in which I can get the Invoice release date (Invoice was blocked previously and released with MRBR). I want the date at which it is released through MRBR.
Thanks,
Input

Dear Input_Output,
When ever we perform LIV and is blocked for payment (due to price variance or other variance) is stored on table RBKP_BLOCKED
Now when we release it through t. Code MRBR that time its get deleted from RBKP_BLOCKED
Now to get the date of release Use can Use table CDHDR
Where OBJECTID =Invoice no+year (e.g 51056066022011 where is 5105606602 invoice no 2011 is year)
Tcode =MRBR
You will get the fields called UDATE and UTIME these are your release date and release time
Hope it clears

How can I sort albums in a genre by release date in the itunes store

How can I sort albums in a genre by release date in the itunes store

Did you figure this out? Am having the same problem.
EDIT:
Found the group in store (in this case Juana Molina) It said music -> alternative
Changed to column view, and could not find the artist at all in any of the sub categories.
iTunes is really the biggest pain in the .... and has gotten worse over the years.

Album release dates in "Album" view

Is there something wrong with the way I'm tagging my music in iTunes, or do you notice this too?
In the iPod app, when you view all your music by Albums, some albums list the release date (for example, April 10, 2008), while other albums only list the release year (2008).
I don't see any way to change or edit this in iTunes... Go to your Albums on your iPad and see if you notice the exact same thing... Some albums have the exact date, and some only have the year.
Is it like this for anybody else?

Here's a thought...maybe nobody has answered because they don't have a solution for you, and there's no point in posting a "gee, I'm sorry I can't help you" response. Or, as this appears to be an iTunes-related issue, and not necessarily associated with the iPad itself, you might try posting in the appropriate forum.
Here's another thought...blatantly insulting the group as a whole is probably not going to get you the type of attention you seek.

Sorting Music By Release Date

Hi guys.
I'm new to this Forum so apologies if this has already been asked.
I want to sort my music on my iTunes in Release Date order not just the year so its shows an artist complete discography from first release to current release. Is there a way of being able to do this ?

Bazoingdoing wrote:
My music sorted in ascending order on iTunes, it has been since I've had iTunes. Prior to iOS 7.0.x, albums were sorted by name under the artist. In iOS 7.0.x, that changed, and albums were sorted by release date in ascending order (i.e. newest at the bottom). Now, in iOS 7.1.x, albums are sorted by release date in descending order (i.e. newest at the top).
It was changed on your system, not mine.
Mine were never sorted by release date. It has always been sorted Album by Artist.
Try this.
In iTunes, select the iPhone.
Then go to iTunes menu View > View options and select a sort, then sync the iPhone.

10.1.2.0.2 App Server Release Date?

Folks,
Does anyone know what the expected release date is for the Oracle 10g Application Server Release 2 Version 10.1.2.0.2 (Aka, the one with Forms and Reports services) and the accompanying 10.1.2.0.2 Developer Suite? I would like to get a feel so I can decide which one to load. 1 week? 1 month? 1 year?, etc. Thanks.
PJC

Well i badly need forms and report in my 10.1.2.0.0
When will it be release.
Expeting date please
RegardsWe waited for 9.0.4 to be released for way too long (about a year on the Windows platform). It is almost as stable as 9iAS R1 and it requires more resources (cpu and ram) to run but overall, it isn't too bad. We waited for 9.0.4 because it contained bug fixes we required to migrate from 1.0.2.2.2a. What does 10.1.2 have that 9.0.4.1 doesn't? I thought it was virtually the same thing as 9.0.4.1.

How do I fill in Release Date info for my music tracks?

I would like to add specific release date information (ie, the month and date) of a cds and songs to the music I have in my library. Once I updated itunes to 7.2, I noticed there is a category for Release Date information. But I've looked at all of the info options and I can't seem to find where I would fill in that information. Can someone help me locate it?
Thanks in advance.

For clarification: When you look at the Get Info page for each file, I too can only find the "year" option to fill in.
However, when you look at the columns for your library sorting, there is an option to sort by Release Date.
This is why I would assume there is some place you can fill in the release date--I just can't happen to find it, which is what I'd like help with.
