| Subject: | Preserve DAY tag |
Current code silently truncates DAY tag to 4 characters. This has the effect of stripping away information contained in the tag that users might want access to.
For instance, many mp4 podcasts use the DAY tag for the release date, such that DAY contains a full datetime stamp--information that can be useful for sorting files, for instance. Stripping away this information can result in all 52 episodes in a given year of a weekly podcast being indistinguishable.
That this tag is aliased as "YEAR" for convenience sake does not mean that this is the only information that should be available to the user is the four-digit year. Leave it to your users to truncate this value if they need to, or else provide an alternate pseudo-TAG to access the full datestamp when it is available.
