Hi all,
I had a quick look at the files Pier Federico sent over, they both (Monkey's Audio .ape and WavPack .wv) utilize the APE tag, and it seems that MPD is not looking for the "correct" tag into it (that is: "correct" in the APE tag is a meaningless word, as there is no standard, nor standardized set of field names, so one may just wild guess...)
When converting them to flac using ffmpeg I get the date in a (non-standard in the Vorbis comment used by flac) field named "YEAR", all caps; which suggests that APE tag uses "YEAR" as field name.
Please note, that mediainfo presents the date (on both formats) in the "Recorded date" field, the same carrying the date for flac files, so internally is performing some sort of mapping...
The covers are just missing, but I remember them working fine with the ape and wv files I have stumbled upon in the past, before deciding to convert them all to flac and eventually fix the metadata by hand...
