Does anyone know if there is a plugin that does this or similar that works in the current version of picard please?
The plugin fetches all releases the recording appears on and uses the earliest date of release and sets it in a custom tag called firstrecorded. Note: Other then suggested by the tag name this is the date of first release, not the date when it was recorded.
The functionality of getting this first release date for a recording has been integrated into MusicBrainz and Picard 2.6 or later provides the %_recording_firstreleasedate% to hold this date. If you want to reproduce the exact behavior of the plugin and have this in the firstrecorded tag you could use a script:
$set(firstrecorded,%_recording_firstreleasedate%)
If you actually want to have the date of recording have a look at the Recording date plugin instead.
