rekorbox 'Release Date' field - Beatport

I've started noticing over the last few months that tracks downloaded from Beatport - the 'Release Date' field in rekorbox is skewed. It started happening with random track in 2020, now almost everything that comes from Beatport the field is wrong.

I've opened the MP3s up in a Tag Editor and all looks OK. Anyone else experiencing this? I spoke to my friend he is having same issue also. 

Screen shots attached. Not sure where the issue is if it's reborbox/Beatport or a combination of the two? ID3 Tags look OK:

Thanks

Darren

Hey Darren,

Can you try using a different ID3 viewer to check the tags; it could be they've been stored in a format that is messing with rekordbox.

Hey,

Thanks for coming back to me and sorry for the delay - I had problems logging in to reply.

So I did some more investigation and this issue is with Beatport. You can clearly see from the two screen shots below where the 'Release Date' fields differ. Those which are not fully qualified as 'YYYY-MM-DD' present the issues in rekordbox.

I have a case raised with Beatport, they've initially told me that nothing has changed but that can't be the case. I've replicated the issue again with some new tracks I've downloaded. 

Surely I can't be the only person with this issue out there!

Thank you,

Darren
