Use the `original release date` instead of the `recording date` for the album date.
What is the problem you are facing?
Thanks to #1366 (closed), the album's year is shown in the UI. Unfortunately, the year that appear comes from the recording date
ID3 tag, while —if present— the release date
, or, better, the original release date
tags could be more useful.
What are the possible drawbacks or issues with the requested changes?
I can't really see much drawbacks to this. I guess you'd lose the info about when was the album re-released, but that is mostly useful for collection, not music classification.
