Display Original Release Date rather than Year #139

Thanks for the amazing app! Wondering if it might be an improvement to use the following hierarchy to determine which tag the app pulls from to display the album year:

Original Release Date > Original Year > Year

I primarily use MusicBrainz Picard to tag my albums and it sets the Year tag to the year your specific version of the album was released. This means that, for CD re-releases of older vinyls that I have ripped and tagged it with MusicBrainz; the app displays the year of the CD release, not the original LP.

I like how MusicBrainz tags albums but I think the original year is much more relevant than the Year tag when browsing or sorting in the app.

Hello, thanks for using PA2 and for taking your time posting this issue. Power Ampache 2 does not change/manipulate tags and song metadata, they come from your server, the app just display whatever has been passed from your Ampache backend. This is means whatever change you want to your song info has to be done on Ampache (backend) and not Power Ampache (android). No info regarding original release is passed as you can see from the screenshot attached. You can check the info that the app receives clicking on "info" in the song screen, see screenshots: image
