    When I browse my music library in Jellyfin, the year displayed for an album is the release year of the specific CD version I have, rather than the original release year of the album.

    For example, if an album was originally released in 1985 but I have a remastered CD from 2005, Jellyfin shows the year as 2005. In contrast, other media servers like Plex correctly display the year as 1985.

    Albums are often reissued or remixed after their initial release."Deluxe" versions also are released much later. Some of your albums clearly fall into one of these categories. The tags on those files are showing those dates & not the dates of the original releases. The best way to change them is to use a tagging app like Mp3Tag or MusicBrainz Picard to alter the release date tags to whatever you would like them to be. It is always best to remove them from your library, retag them, & then return them to get analyzed by Jellyfin again.
    Hope this helps!
