I just found a bug in the code that handles the TDRC frame. This would cause the TDRC frame to be ignored by MinimServer. This will be fixed in the next release.

Is it possible that the date information you're seeing in MinimServer is coming from the TYER frame rather than the TDRC frame? Do your MP3 files contain the TYER and/or TDAT frames?

I'm not sure how to confirm whether my files contain the TYER/TDAT frames or not. I've just used Mp3tag with the standard mapping setting and I have observed the following for the converted mp3-file which contains only the ID3v2.4 tag and no ID3v2.3 tag:

1) date value in RELEASETIME (TDRL) and nowhere else -> not indexed by MinimServer
2) date value in RELEASETIME (TDRL) and YEAR (TDRC) -> indexed by MinimServer

However, I'm not sure whether YEAR in 2) coresponds to the TDRC frame. For now, I've relied on this table. But I can confirm that the file contains just the ID3v2.4 tag.
