Hi,

I'd like to outline my plans before I start a tagging project, as
somebody more experienced than me may be able to save me some time...

Background:
I have a large library of flac and mp3 files. Tags have been carefully
cleaned. Each track has a YEAR tag.
SB currently sorts the albums within an artist by year, but that year
is the first/last track scanned from the album, so compilations and
albums with earlier/later bonus tracks aren't always sorted in the
right order.

Plan:
Populate the ALBUMSORT tag with an album level year, to force SB to put
the album where I want it.
For many albums, picking the year from track 1 on the album is probably
what I'll do. For various artist albums, I'll probably go for the
highest year on the compilation.

Outcome:
For most artists, I'll get the albums in the order I want straight off
the bat.
For artists who don't realise that one album a year is enough
(Costello, Fairport, Davis) I may have to change the album sort on
three albums from 1969, 1969, 1969 to 1969a, 1969b, 1969c.

Please shoot this plan down in flames in any way you'd like. The more
comments the better before I start tryingit out.

Thanks,

M.
