</span>Thanks Alan, this looks like a good catch. That code was added in the<br>
last update to abcde-musicbrainz-tool back in October last year:<br>

<br>
Grab year information too when using musicbrainz<br>
<br>
Thanks to Marco Hoppstaedter for the patch. Closes issue 10:<br>

<br>
It looks to me like maybe there are some releases without event<br>
information, and that causes confusion. I've not seen this myself on<br>
any CDs here that I'm aware of, but that could just be dumb luck of<br>
course.<br>
<br>
If you change the code<br>
<span><br>
my $rel_year = substr($events[0]->date(),0,4);<br>
<br>
</span>to<br>
<br>
my $rel_year = "";<br>
if ($release->release_event_list()->count() > 0) {<br>
<span> $rel_year = substr($events[0]->date(),0,4);<br>
}<br>
<br>
</span>and try again with one of your problem CDs, does it work better?<br>
