Thanks.
The YEAR tag is in MP3Tag - that's the only tag editor I'm using.

I'm talking about the album release year - or for classical music,
usually the year the music was composed. With Bach I've used the BWV
numbers as years. Works well from 1 digit to 4 :-)

One important thing: While I was waiting for an answer here I changed
all the works lacking YEAR tag to ID3v2.3(ID3v1 ID3v2.3).  All problems
solved it seems.
So for iPeng ID3v2.3(ID3v1 ID3v2.3) seems to be the best format - unless
I've missed something.

Could not agree more. I have an extra backup disc, not in daily use,
with everything in lossless format - although I don't expect the MP3
format and players compatible with it to disappear any time soon.
