Fetching Data from Database that somehow lacks tag/variable

MusicBrainz Picard

Hi all,

I’ve been using Picard for a couple of weeks now and I’ve figured out how to write tagger-scripts etc.
I’m mainly working on classical music but now I’ve come across a problem. For the tag value “date” I want the recording date to be shown (I use MusicBee as my library software). The thing is that for example for this release here I can see the recording date next to the orchestra, conductor etc (that’s where it says “from 2007-06-04 until 2007-06-09” for the first track of the first disc) on the website. But I found no way to access this information in Picard and I cannot believe it is actually not possible to fetch that data and apply it to my files with tagger-scripts.

I know about tags and variables and there seems to be none that contains this information, but it is on the website, so there MUST be a way to access it.

Any help is much appreciated!

Regards

Have a look at this plugin:

The problem with recording dates is that there can be several, and they are often time ranges. This plugin provides multiple variables for the date, so you can pick what you need.

Somehow like this we might implement this also in Picard.
