Date is not displayed with Ogg and FLAC files
Hello,
It seems the date is not displayed in Artists or Album view, but appears in tag editor :
The problem occurs only with Flac and Ogg files (it works perfectly with my MP3 files). I can send you a file if you need help to reproduce the problem.
The app appears to be looking at the "YEAR" tag for this information, but the tag name for this field in OGG files is "DATE".
This one works:
This one doesn't:
I just used Kid3 to add a custom tag of "YEAR" to the files, and the date popped up immediately in Music.
Would it not be wise to check both? Some of the mp3s I have don't have "YEAR" but have "DATE", and it's a bit annoying to have to re-tag multiple albums.
If "YEAR" cannot be found it should use "DATE", or vice versa, whichever is generally preferred.
I cross-posted this issue to the upstream Phonograph and someone posted that its an issue in the in-built Android media provider.

It looks like there isn't an easy fix until the provider is fixed?
