Hello all. This post is about those unique and modern (ie. not original) “reissue” albums: deluxe edition, special edition, collector’s edition, anniversary, remaster, remix, box set (and perhaps a couple more I’m overlooking).
I believe “release type” is a different thing, covering releases such as soundtracks, demos, EPs, broadcasts, etc.
So if we call what I’m referring to as the “reissue type”, then what tags and variables would be the most likely to contain this reissue type information – so Picard could parse it and present it in a tidy way as part of an album folder name?
Of course there’s also the original and reissue dates to consider, but that seems much more straightforward than wrangling the reissue type itself.
It would certainly be nice to get a thorough and tidy output for these albums, like:[1983] Synchronicity [2024 Super Deluxe Edition]. Some or all of that folder name could then be used as the album title meta tag.
So far, I’ve noticed “discsubtitle”, “releasecomment”, “releasename”, “primaryreleasetype” and in some cases I suppose a reissue type could simply be part of the “album” title itself. I don’t know if there are others, which are the most populated or the most accurate, or if things are spread out and hard to nail down.
Has anyone else tried to tame this?
