Well, there is a "standard" (you'd have to look around a bit) tag that is called Original Year (or something similar). Since you are using FLAC files, you could create such a tag. You could use that to store the date you want and leave the standard date field to keep the album year in place.
As far as browsing in LMS, the only thing I can imagine working would be to use one of Erland's plugins (check the 3rd party software thread), specifically Custom Scan and Custom Browse. You could force LMS to scan the original year tag and the create your own menu structure to sort by "Original Year" then "artist" and "song" or whatever works best for you. It isn't easy, but it would work and you get good support if you give it a try and need help. You may even be able to use Custom Browse alone to get what you want, although I'm not sure how well it will work with the Year tag if the overlying data base only really looks at the first or last track on an album for a year. A custom field will be per track. With mp3tag, you could quickly just copy all the year fields to a custom tag field as an initial step. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ emalvick's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=35382 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=95268 _______________________________________________ ripping mailing list [email protected] http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/ripping
