[mb-users] [unknown date]

[Bogdan Butnaru]

I suppose it should work the same way you can (currently) enter a year
but no month or no day. The server limits years above 1900 (since
presumably no music was released before that, though I do seem to
remember a discussion about that, too), and I suppose this is should
be maintained, IF a year was entered.
