Display Year on Songs and Albums #7

Open CalcProgrammer1 opened 12 years ago

The ability to display year information on songs and albums would be useful. It may clutter up the main list to display the year of each song, but the year should at least be displayed on the album entries and for the current playing song on the Now Playing area.

For albums (and possibly artists), there is a possibility that not all songs have the same year. In this case, a range of years should be used (for example, "1998-2003"). This could also apply to artists if the user wants to see this information.

Year is now displayed on album headers and on the Now Playing bar, will reconsider the year range display for albums but it will require additional processing on the database to detect this. For now the first album track's year is displayed for the album header.

Album art is displayed along with album name, artist, and year in the list, also in the Now playing bar. I plan to implement additional scanning that will build a list of albums/artists and this could implement a year range system.
