Albums purchased through iTunes use a ISO 8601 formatted date for each track on an album, not simply a four digit year.
This causes a few issues in Recordbox:
It looks rough seeing "2025-10-27T12:00:00Z" as the album year instead of simply "2025"
If a single on the album was pre-released earlier in the year, it has a different ISO 8601 date, which causes Recordbox to display the album as two separate works.
As a workaround, I updated the metadata on these tracks to simply "2025", but it would be a smoother process overall to have Recordbox truncate the date to just the year.
Hope this bug report helps, Keep up the great work!
