Cool - will that be v1.6.0?

Been thinking about this some more. Updated the start post with more details. Hope I can find some time to work on this in the near future.

That's already how it's implemented in the PR: if an album is tagged "the Picard way" (ie, with 'originaldate' + 'date'), Navidrome will automatically use originaldate as the sorting/filtering date.

Ah yes but then it sorts correctly - `DATE` (=recording date) is set to 2013, where it should presumably be 1973 (that's when Piano Man was recorded, right)? From the...

The advantage that Spotify/Deezer/Tidal have is that they can control the exact formatting of the tags, which is a luxury we don't have. Also, they likely have implemented M2M relations...

One of the tricky things of the two-tags approach is the edge case `ARTIST` = "Alice;Bob" and `ARTISTS` = "Carol", "Dave" - what should the application use?
