I have a suggestion for the scanner functionality concerning year/date
and artwork for an *album* - for example, I have an album compiled in
2004, but I have tagged the individual songs with their own year of
release (1976, 1985, whatever) and their own artwork (from the original
single release cover). There is a folder.jpg that is a 'cover' for the
album as a whole.
When scanned by SC (SBS?), the album year and cover is set to that of
the last track (1976). I can change the album year to 2004 in the SQLite
DB no probs, but the album cover is trickier, because of the artwork
cache thing. I'm guessing that folder.jpg image is not scanned or stored
by SC, since all the tracks have their own embedded cover, and if it is
scanned, I don't know how to find its cache ID.

My suggestion therefore, is that the scanner could make use of a custom
tag (e.g. ALBUMYEAR) and any image file (folder.jpg, cover.jpg, etc. as
normal) and set these for the album only. In the event these don't
exist, the current behaviour is fine.

Any thoughts?
