Import Date

[Mike48]

I've added a tag to my music files holding the date of import into my music library. I use this with Minim to sort album lists in reverse order by date. Now I can use the album list to play recent imports. For more detailed ways of browsing, the order doesn't much matter, once I've narrowed down the set of files or albums.

The import-date is in J River internal date format, in which a value might be 41283.93948 (but with more decimal places). This doesn't seem to cause MinimServer any problems. I am wondering--

(1) Is there a way to tell MinimServer to read this tag, but not display it as a category? Since each album has a unique value, it's not useful that way.

(2) I could change the tag to hold formatted values, say yyyy-mm-dd-hhmm. Is there any reason to do that in terms of, say, memory usage in MinimServer? I *still* wouldn't be looking at it, just using it for sorting.
