Hi, I have a lot of songs and I would like to sort them by year. A lot of them don't have a year so I would like Beatunes to do that for me. After analysis the fields are still empty. Any advice? All help is welcome. Thanks in advance!

   Hi Nick,

   What analysis with what setting did you conduct? Did you enable the fingerprint task?

   Thanks,

   Hi I used these. Many of the songs are dance and techno. Maybe it's just a lesser known music genre...

   Hm. Your settings look right. Perhaps this happens, just like you say, because the tracks are not so well known and not in the database.

   This may not help with bulk import, but you could try to open the Get Info panel for one of these tracks, go to the Info tab and right-click on the year entry field.

   If beaTunes can find a year in some database, it should be displayed there (see screenshot).
