Notes:
Taken from the earliest release in the release group.
Used when uncertain whether composer or lyricist.
This is populated by LastFMPlus plugin and not by stock Picard.
This is not able to be populated by stock Picard. It may be used and populated by certain plugins.
For Picard>=1.3 this indicates a Various Artists album; for Picard<=1.2 this indicates albums with tracks by different artists which is incorrect (e.g.: an original album with a duet with a feat. artist would show as a Compilation). In neither case does this indicate a MusicBrainz Release Group subtype of compilation.
Release-level license relationship type.
Recording-level license relationship type.
With “Save iTunes compatible grouping and work” (since Picard>=2.1.0)
From iTunes Metadata Format Specification
For compatibility reasons the
date
tag gets filled with the release date from MusicBrainz. This is how most software interprets this tag. Since Picard 2.9 the separatereleasedate
exists for use by scripts and plugins, but is not filled by default.
