Hello,

Would it be possible to get per track release date put into the DB?

I have some Compilation albums on my collection, both various artists and single artist. If I use decade radio on Plexamp it uses the album release date as the data point and I get random tracks that I know are from out of the decade in the playlist.

For example if I have an album that was released in the 60’s but someone has done a remaster of the album in the 00’s, the metadata that gets downloaded notes the remaster date and those 60’s tracks get mixed in to the 00’s decade radio playlist.

Another example is a compliation album of 70’s songs being released in the 2000’s and getting into the mix.

If we had by track release date and Plxamp used this metadata to construct the playlists I think we’ll get a lot more acurate mixes.

Thanks

The music is from the 70s/80s, but due to the release year of the CD, it will be popping up in the Decade Radio for the 90s. allow for multiple artists per album and per track. Currently, for browsing purposes, one must decide on one artist per album or have a custom artist or dump it all in “Various Artists”. For albums this may be easy, but less for compilati…
