I don't think this is going to do anything for you with regard to
SlimServer.  In the database orginization of SlimServer each album has
a year.  But each track also has a year.  My guess is that the last
track scanned for the album will dictate the year with which the album
is stamped.  It's probably this year that is used when references to
that album are made, such as display and sorting by year

You might try doing a test using the Advanced Search.  Since the
Advanced Search finds tracks, it may well use the year of the
individual tracks when searching.  That's probably the only place the
track year is used other than in the displayed data on the Song Info
page.

For some reason the database also has a 'years' table.  I'm not sure
what it's used for - probably populating Browse by Years - although
since you're browsing albums in that mode it should be simple to pull
distinct years from the albums table.
