In the sort album field I put the full release date followed by the album name, like so-
yyyy-mm-dd-album name Doing it like this, means that I don't need to be concerned with whether I have missing albums or not, as when I do acquire them they will slip in ot their natural position chronologically. Also, with a band like The Beatles, who were releasing more than 1 album per year, putting just the year would not be enough. Also, the reason I put the album name is because, for example, Pet Sounds was released on the same day as Blonde On Blonde (wow, what a day that must have been!) so if i just put the date (1966-05-16) for both albums, iTunes would regard them as the SAME album for sorting purporses and it goes a bit mental. So, for example, my Beatles albums have the sort album field set as follows- 1963-03-22-Please Please Me 1963-11-22-With The Beatles 1964-07-10-A Hard Day's Night 1964-12-04-Beatles For Sale 1965-08-06-Help! 1965-12-03-Rubber Soul etc..... Everything appears beautifully chronologically in both iTunes and the iPod, and like one of the posters said, it makes it so easy to just hit play and see how a band progresses through time. The album release dates are easily available via Wikipedia. |
