    Default Weird Question: Importing Track Release Dates

    Hello All,

    As I alluded to above, I have a weird question. I moved all my itunes media folder collection to an external hard drive and in the process managed to lose all of my import dates. Having now no idea of which track is old and which one is new, I was hoping that someone here could shed some light on possibilities for running some sort of batch music detection software that would figure out the release dates of my tracks and then import them and tag them in my music collection. I am running itunes, Rapid evolution 3 (used for key detection), and traktor.

    Any ideas? Thanks in advance guys.

    I use beets to tag my stuff with release date tag, it uses Musicbrainz database as source for this information.

    Probably 70% of stuff I want to import for DJing purposes is already in musicbrainz, the rest I use a beatport-or-discogs-or-itunes-store-to-musicbrainz importer to add it.

    Musicbrainz Picard can do the same thing and is cross-platform and has a GUI.
