Include YEAR when listing ALBUMS for ARTIST

I'd very much love to be able to view (and sort by) album year when I list the albums for an artist. A thought on how this could be implemented is: * If all songs on the album have the same year - no problem * If the songs' years differ - make the album 'year-less' or pick the earliest or most recent song's year (maybe another server setting for this? (-: ) (I played around with the SenseMaker skin trying to make it list years, but I don't think yhat information ever reaches the html!?)
it doesnt reach the html, but I have one idea. the artcache currently links album title with one track on the album, usualy track 1. This way it can read the tag info to get the cover tag. I could extend this to store all album titles and read all tag info that would be useful.
Created attachment 81 [details] one option This doesn't use a cache, but does generate year info for the browse list and browse artwork.
Created attachment 82 [details] updated with settings This is a complete patch, with server formatting settings. This also removes some redundant strings.
committed Aug 5, 2004 this is a server setting in additional-formatting. there is a performance his involved so the default will be disabled. browse by album and browse by artwork will show year in parentheses if enabled.
There are 536 bugs in the database with targets of '---' that were fixed prior to new year 2006. I am setting them to targets of 6.2.1 to keep them from showing up in my queries.
