Problem
Everything works great, except that ORIGINALYEAR does not get set while importing. I have to use Picard, which removes the "Compilation (itunes)" value (I don't care about that) and adds the ORIGINALYEAR value. Everything else stays unchanged.
Any ideas why that is?
And a question for my understanding: if ORIGINALYEAR is not set, where does $original_year come from, because that works for creating directories?!?
