On Ubuntu, the year tag in MP3s exported from Audacity is not seen in applications like Rhythmbox or MoviePlayer. This is easily fixable by using ID3_FRAME_YEAR in line 1868 of ExportMP3.cpp instead of the deprecated "TYER" frame which we use for backwards compatibility with Windows applications.
We could still use TYER for Windows, but can anyone who compiles SVN HEAD on other Linux distributions try compiling with ID3_FRAME_YEAR and advise if that breaks MP3 tags in any applications?

Re: MP3 Year tag
The only relevant tags for me are artist and song title. So to me it won't break anything

Re: MP3 Year tag
Gale, one tool you could test and see if it works is eyeD3. It's a command line id3 tag editor and it's what I use for editing id3 tags on my mp3s. Should be on ubuntu.
