I just obtained the disc Endtroducing... (2005), which is the digital deluxe version of Endtroducing..... (1996). Now I have a conundrum about tagging it. I could tag disc 1 as Endtroducing..... (1996) and the second as Endtroducing... (2005), but they'd be shown as separate albums. I could use Endtroducing... (2005) for both, it's correct but feels wrong as the tracks on disc 1 are from 1996. I could have Endtroducing... for both but different years which is a mess.

@nicd I use the MusicBrainz Picard defaults and display both 'earliest release group year' and the 'actual release year' tag columns in my player, so I can see and browse by both. The tags in this case would be:
DATE = 2005
ORIGINALDATE = 1996 -a

@musicbrainz Thanks for the tip! I'm using the music player formerly known as iTunes and I think there's only one year field available. I've been thinking of moving to some new system eventually though, as I just have everything there for legacy reasons and listen to stuff through Navidrome anyway.

@musicbrainz I was able to use Picard to add the original release year in addition to the re-release year, and iTunes didn't clobber that data. \o/ Thank you! Though it made me think if I should just use Picard fully in the future.

I just know that I'll lose all my playcounts, history, and "added to library" dates in Navidrome again if I move and have to hack something to get at least some of that data back. :/
