Hi,
I’ve been using beets for a year or so now and I love it so. Recently decided that I wanted to change my date tag to just YEAR instead of M/D/Y and to use original dates instead of reissue dates, etc, all my new imports follow this format.
I was wondering how can I run beets back over my entire library to change all my dates to original dates and clear day/month and then update with new folders but not touch any other fields because I’ve done a lot of manual tagging changes that I would prefer not to get messed with.
Library\Grachan Moncur III\2003 - Evolution -> Library\Grachan Moncur III\1963 - Evolution
Thank you!
