Display YEAR metadata in the players

15 votes

Broadcasters want to share the year that a track was released with their listeners. Since we have the Year ID3 metadata tag available for each uploaded track, we could expose this field in the player when a track has data for it.
The alternative is that broadcasters are putting a year in the title field, which brings them out of compliance with providing accurate metadata for each song that they play. In order to avoid this, and to help ensure compliance, we can stick to the ID3 standards of using the Year field for the year, and display it to the listeners. This would alleviate station owners from editing each of their track titles to show the year.

I send YEAR metadata now with all my songs in my stream. I would like to see the live365 player parse not only artist and title but also YEAR please.

My station has been supporting the jazz genre and the musicians for 26 years and particularly now during these difficult times it would be useful to have more information on the PLAYER WINDOW for the listener to make it easier for them to locate a track and hopeful buy it and HELP the musicians during these unprecedented times. I load the ALBUM NAME and YEAR by default but they DO NOT APPEAR in the PLAYER window. Surely this would be easy to do and if the station owner didn't add the data, it

Speaking of DMCA compliance, I just reread the list of things we're supposed to adhere to. The player window is supposed to display the album title, as well as the song title and artist. So, we're already out of compliance because of that, too.
