I am sorry, but I am still confused, please bear with me. I used to have this problem with MM3, so I had to add that code to the ini file. The explanation and solution was as follows:
MediaMonkey 3, by default saves Year and Date metadata in ID3 v2.3 tags to TYER / TDRC frames. Although this is generally a good approach for maximum compatibility, some users may wish to change this since TDRC is normally associated with ID3 v2.4 tags and Winamp will not read the TDRC field for an ID3v2.3 tag. This can be done by adding to MediaMonkey's .ini file this code.
This explanation is not perfectly clear, but most probably it means that for Winamp to correctly read the year, MM must write year either
1) only to TYER frames in v2.3 (not to TYER/TDRC),
or
2) to TYER/TDRC frames in v2.4 tags.
Is my understanding correct?
If correct, the question is: In MM4 and MM5, to make MM do either 1) or 2), what should be done: select the correct setting in "Store MP3 file properties" (which one?) or adding the code to the ini file, like I did for MM3, or both?
