Thanks.

Thanks for uploading this. It contains the following ID3v2 frames:

TYER: 1994
TDAT: 1502
TXXX JR/Date: 34631

From the TYER and TDAT frames, the date should be 1994-02-15 (15th February 1994). MinimServer isn't handling this correctly because of a bug in how it processes TDAT frames.

It appears the TXXX JR/Date frame value of 34631 represents the date 1994-10-24. I don't know why this isn't the same date as the TYER/TDAT tags. JRiver is reading the proprietary TXXX JR/Date value instead of TYER/TDAT, and this is why it is displaying a different (correct) date.

I will fix the MinimServer bug in the next release of MinimServer. When I have done this, you will need to change the TDAT frame value to 2410 to see the correct date in MinimServer.

Thanks very much for making me aware of this TDAT problem.

I went back through how I created these dsf files. These were created through sacd_extract using the ISO of the SACD. This program created the dff files which were then run through Audiogate to create the dsf files.

I looked again in Audiogate to see what the Rec Date information shows for this track before converting it to dsf and it shows 2008-02-15 (the release date of the SACD). This might explain why the TDAT is set as it is.

When this album was added to JRiver, the Date tag only showed 2008. I tried to change this to 1994-10-24 (the original release date of this album).

JRiver did not appear to change TDAT after I made this date change.
