Individual Track Dates when ripping compilations

[michaelm]

Hi
I finally paid up and i now have - almost- the full suite including music converter and CD ripper.

I am re-ripping to higher quality a lot of my older CDs and a few are compilations.

The Comipaltion tickbox works a treat but i tends to add the same date to all the tracks. If the CD was released in 2014, it will add 2014 even if the songs were from the 80's.

Is there a setting or another way to autimaticaly populate the actual date the tracks were released in this case as i set up a 2010s smart playlist the other day in PlexAmp and 70's songs were coming up!

Maybe Roon can handle that better? Not sure.

The YEAR tag field is typically the release date of the album itself. Using different years for each track can cause issues with some players. There is a different field ORIGYEAR that may be better suited for indicating the release year for each track on a compilation but this isn't something that will likely be filled automatically.
