Add a field for <Original Year (yyyy)>

[mcalphax]

I think the title is quite self-explanatory. I would like to have this in the layout settings for displaying track information.
I use the Year field for the release date of a specific release, not the original release, so when I want to display the original release date my only option is <Original Year>, which shows the whole date code as YYYY-MM-DD, as I entered it, which clutters the info field.
Cheers!

Edit: A field for <Album (Original Year)> would be appreciated as well.

Hello mcalphax, welcome to the forum.

Are you aware of MusicBee's virtual tags? https://musicbee.fandom.com/wiki/Virtual_Tags
You can use those to achieve what you want.

For example, this formula below would strip the <year (yyyy)> part out of the <original year> tag.
Then instead of displaying <original year> in the track info panel,  you would display the virtual tag instead.

Code

$Left(<Original Year>, 4)

Thank you for the reply! I was wondering if something like that was possible, but I didn't know what virtual tags were and that those were the key to solving my problem.

Thanks again, this thread can be closed.
