display YEAR for album or track?

[dnaman]

Hello.

I would love to add YEAR to more views or areas within the Dark Blue 1920x1080 V2 skin.

When browsing by Album or Artists for instance I only see YEAR if I right navigate down to the actual song/track (where you can select PLAY - PLAY NEXT - PLAY NOW)



Can I add the YEAR tag to the end of the ALBUM name line up here:


As well as within the large 'Now Playing' screen and possibly the mini 'Now Playing' / 'Playing Next' area in the ALBUM selection as imagined here:


I have tried looking within the skin editor but not able to find where I can add the YEAR tag and I don't see it from the selection list within the skin editor. Is it possible that I would have to add these as options from within the skin's XML file, manually? Can someone provide a single example if so? Thank you!

Add the YEAR to the ALBUM NAME use a TAG editor.

Well that is definitely an easy way to get it done.

I was thinking that adding the tag in the skin would be 'better' by keeping them separate but I guess that there is no good reason to not just add it as you've suggested.

Thanks.

It would be great if we could take the  info from the year field in the tag and add it as suggested below and not alter the album name. Especially would be useful on compilation albums with songs that span multiple years. That way when having say a 70's party the software could pull all songs in collection for that particular year or decade no matter if the album is a compilation or not providing that each song is tagged correctly.
