Support for the RELEASETIME tag (per track)
Problem solved:
I often use RELEASETIME for tracks that did not get released at the same time as the album. Namely singles, deluxe / extended versions, live performances, remixes… etc
This way I don’t need to alter the RELEASEDATE tag which needs to match across the album to appear.
Brought benefits:
Users could see the release times for individual tracks on an album that were released prior to or after the full albums release date.
Other application solutions:
Additional description and context:
Although I think this would be a great standalone addition, with the incoming update I could simply push this info to TRACK_TAGS but I did want to throw the idea out there. Not sure if many others are using the Releasetime tag like I am.
Ironically I also use a Releasetype tag at the track level to distinguish specific tracks on the album.
For example the album release type may be “Deluxe Edition” but in truth I may have acquired the standard album before the deluxe was released so the Track Releasetype for the tracks that are only available on the deluxe album will be “Deluxe Edition” while the others will simply be “Album”
The current full album is no doubt a Deluxe Edition but now it’s more clear to me which additional Tracks were added to the standard release to create this version of the album.
Some artist split a Deluxe into multiple discs so its an easy distinction between standard & dekuxe tracks but other artist just release another album with more tracks & they arent always separated.
