Userscripts Bad release date from iTunes?

This iTunes page says released 2010-07-27 but if you import it, it will take 2010-07-26…?

Isn't this just iTunes having multiple date values?

I see in https://itunes.apple.com/lookup?id=379320560&entity=song&limit=200&country=au that each track has a release date.

https://github.com/dufferzafar/Userscripts/blob/3691200ea1bef03f4699df6307c6a2d706ff06bd/MB-Import-From-iTunes.user.js#L43-L47

I think current code (above) takes first found track release date.

The imported album release date should be the latest track release date, not the earliest date nor the first track date. It seems to be how iTunes website works, for its own album page, BTW.

That makes sense. Nice dig!

I did just a quick look, it is possible that there is, even better, a global release date in that stuff.

Actually there is a final release date, the guitar in this result and it is what the user script uses. But in this case, some tracks are more recent and the iTunes web page does take the most recent track date and so should the user script do, even if it is strange.
