troubleshooting incorrect date values problem

[hsimon46]

Hi. I am having the same problem with date-related log errors for many hundreds of files with dates formatted YYYY-DD-MM. I am not a programmer, just a humble MinimServer user for my music. So here are my questions (and thanks in advance for any help you can offer).

First, is there a relatively simple way to reformat the dates that an untrained but generally computer-literate person might be able to do? If so, can it be done as a batch or does one have to edit each file individually? And what would you consider the easiest tag-editing program for a layperson to use either on Mac OS or on Windows 7 Pro?

And second, given that I don't much care about indexing my music collection by the Date field, is there a way to tell MinimServer to ignore that field when scanning and running a log? Is that potentially an easier fix?

Thanks again.
