Q: itunes 12.3.044 release year field error
after I install itunes 12.3.044 the Year field shows 'aaaa' instead of the proper year in numbers.
in the mp3 properties the year is correct in numbers so the problem is with itunes.
I have two computers with windows 10 in Portuguese and the problem is the same in both.
on itunes 12.2 everything was okay.

With iTunes closed, open C:\Program Files\iTunes\iTunes.Resources\pt_PT.lproj\localizable.strings with Notepad++.
The Program Files folder may have a slightly different name or include (x86).
Search for the text aaaa (there should only be one instance) and replace it with yyyy.
Save and close the file.
Open iTunes.
Don't use regular Notepad for the edit, it breaks the file. I've uploaded a ready made patch file if you don't fancy making the edit yourself. Copy Localizable.strings from the zip file into your pt_PT.lproj folder.
