I have not programmed in many many years and i want to write a script that will take the date field in the database and append it to the title track. I have written in visual basic, basic, dBase 2 3 4, on micro computers and cobol and alc on IBM mainframe computers. All in the 70's, 80's and 90's.
Good Times Bad Times becomes; Good Times Bad Times - 6904
Title+date
The script would run once against the dB on about 30,000 tracks.
Thoughts.

If you are experienced I would suggest that you look at "\Scripts\swapArtistTitle\" as it manipulate DB fields and then simply modify to take Date and append suffix to Title.
