Add Beets' original_date functionality in Headphones, please

[pvkleeff]

Hello,

I would like to see an option where I can use the original_date functionality from beets so that I can use that in folder naming. I have the following directory naming: Artist - Album ($Year) where year is the release year of the recording which can be a remastered version or a re-release. What I would like is to use the year of the inital release. Beets can do that is you use original_date: yes in the config or $original_year in path.

I tried changing that setting in lib/beets/config_default.yaml but I see that has no effect since I see in the sourcecode that original_year is not used anywhere.

So could take this request in consideration ?

+1 Right now it's difficult to make smart playlists as album release dates mean nothing for rereleases
