Hi there,

Just to give you a little bit of background info on this problem.  It started
sometimes in 2011 when iTunes started to populate the GST_TAG_DATE_TIME.  This
tag is supposed to represent the release date of music file not its creation
date.  Before then, only the GST_TAG_DATE tag was used.  

What makes us believe GStreamer is incorrect when reading this tag is that if
we read this file in Windows with MP3Tag, we get a date along with a time
stamp.  Unless, it is fetching it from another tag, I don't know how it would
return a correct value if that tag was incorrect.

You can find another example of a recent file here:

The year showned in MP3Tag is 2013-03-22T07:00:00Z.  This is the correct
release date.
