Could somebody please comment on this issue?

Thanks, Thomas

Gatherum:
You could define custom library fields for this purpose, as I have...

Not only that. What about album Reissues Vs Original release date.
My tracks specify the original year. The release date goes in the album title...which is messy.
How come we have to resort to workarounds when the program should have this function built in.
I do not want yet another custom field thank you very much.

That wouldn't work for predefined headers like "year - album". There you get presently different albums per year if tracks have different dates (samplers e.g.)....

stricko:
Did anything ever come of this suggestion?

if not, does anyone have any tips for automatically calculating an "album year" user field or expression. i.e. is there anyway that you can check if all the tracks in an album have the same year. as was suggested above, this is the same logic as the "album artist (auto)" field.
