"Date added" fields #415

I have adopted the following path schema for my music collection : 

$year-of-acquisition/$albumartist - $album/$track $title

Would it be possible to have an import date / import year / acquisition year in 
the path formats. This could then be an option in the import command for 
importing an existing collection.

http://beets.readthedocs.org/en/1.0b15/reference/pathformat.html

For example on my collection the import would be : 

  for i in 2010 2011 2012; do beet import --aquired-in $i /big/music/collection/$i; done

The on new imports the --aquired-in would not be used and would default to the 
current year.

By the way, the projects looks awesome, just started using it and am impressed.

Good idea! Thanks.

Beets definitely should keep track of "added" dates. And this usage in the path 
format seems quite reasonable. We'll add this in an upcoming release.
