YEAR tag as string

Post by blaubär » Thu Jun 04, 2020 2:01 pm

One can use the YEAR tag to describe not only the year of an album, but also the month etc, the tag itself is just a string. That's useful if an artist produced several albums during an year and one would like to sort them correctly, eg by giving YYYY-MM :

Unfortunately this isn't recognized by Neutron :

year-5.PNG

It seems Neutron extracts the first 4 characters ( or the first 4 numeric ones, whatever ) and that's the YEAR. Comes in useful for the YEAR list in the media library of course :

Proposal : keep this for the library if you must but somehow store the full year tag for the songs and albums, so that one can order the albums accordingly.
