Is it that that is setting the incorrect date tags, or is just reading from the CD directly? Either way there's an awful lot of non-conformance going on!

It is probably coming from the AMG online tag database that dbPoweramp uses. If you press Alt+M before you rip the album, dpPowerAmp will show you the tag values from all the databases that it knows about. I tried this for one of my CDs, and the AMG column showed "2001 06 19". The other database columns just showed "2001".

If this is how AMG lists dates, I'm not sure how you are getting dates in the form "yyyy mm". Any pointers would be appreciated.

It's not a huge proportion of the CDs, but I tried two of them and AMG is giving the "yyyy mm" format. Interestingly, in both cases, Music Brainz had a "yyyy mm dd" format. From now on, I'll try and remember to check the date before I rip.
