It could be done similar way for AIFF, FLAC, OGG, APE, MPC and WMA/WMV, as these formats use simple naming of tags. But it still could be confusing for users, see forum post, MM writes "YEAR" and "DATE" fields to FLAC, but MP3Tag interprets them both as "YEAR" and Foobar2000 interprets them as multi-valued Date, so it seems, MM writes them twice the same way and it is not clear, what to disable to fix it.

It is more complex for MP4/MOV/M4A/F4V/3GP, metadata in these formats could be saved using different MP4 atoms and different notations, so we cannot simply disable something by simple name of atom. We currently allow to disable whole Microsoft style of metadata in MP4 (issue 0012017), but I am not sure, if we should allow this also for all other types of metadata, or even for individual tags. I think more than 99% of users will not understand it at all. I would deal with this only when really needed.

I'd choose just one of the fields to write (YEAR or DATE), based on which seems to be more used. DATE sounds like a better/more generic field to me.

As for the configuration, we can add it, but only as a lower priority issue.

Yes, DATE is standard field (https://xiph.org/vorbis/doc/v-comment.html), YEAR is for compatibility reasons there. I'll remove writing YEAR tags. Similar for ORIGINAL YEAR/ORIGINAL DATE.

YEAR field writing removed for FLAC and OGG in build 2125. Decreasing priority for config.

Resolving, there does not seem to be need for configuration of this, we use standard tag now.

I do not see any issues anymore as few other aps I tested correctly read MM written tags.
