Exported mp3 files have no release year ID3 frame

[rstemmer]

Exported files that get converted to mp3 have no release year ID3 frame.
Using id3edit (the tool used to set the ID3 Tag) seems not be the problem.
There may be a problem with generating the parameter lists for the id3edit call.

• Did I change the command line interface for setting the release date when I moved to id3edit version 2?
• Did I change the Frame ID of the Frame so that it is no more standard conform (or now it is, and my audio player not?)

This is a bug in sonys audio player.
Regarding the ID3v2.4.0 Specification the TYER frame got replaced by TDRC.
id3edit set the TDRC frame correctly.

id3edit and MusicDB allow to force using the old ID3v2.3.0 standard by setting in the config file generated by MusicDB the following value:

[mp3tags]
forceID3v230=True
