Release Date for Albums Year, MONTH DAY

Why can't I enter the release date for albums (Year month and day)?   Itunes has a field for year but that's it.    I would have loved to be at the meeting where it was discussed.
"Year, month and day? why the heck would any want that?"
"Well a lot of us want to see our albums in chronological order and you can't do that with just the year, many albums come out every year"
"Blah Blah Blah, music is just to dance to, no one cares about dates, besides it would four extra digit fields in each entry"
But seriously, I would think that Itunes would aspire to be THE program for music lovers.
Instead of being able to just enter the release dates I have had to come up with my own work around.  I put a the release date in the format yyyymmdd in fromt of each title and then sort by titles.
Now all of my Beatle albums finally show up in chronological order by release date.   But why should I have to massage the data like this.   I can't imagine what goes on at Itunes planning  sessions.  I'm very unhappy about the loss of cover flow but that's another story.

I'm glad to hear that I am not the only one who sees this as a problem.  And another Beatles fan too.
This is so fundamental.  Every album has a release date and it's part of the data that is always associated with  that album.   Why did Apple look at the data available for an album and consciously decide to truncate it?
What kind of music lover isn't aware of when albums are released?  I just don't get it.
I like having the date yyyymmdd in front of each album.   It isn't pretty but it means the albums are chronological.   If you want, you could just put this in the sort field and leave the regular album title in the regular field.   Then the names would be right and they would sort correctly.   But again.  Why should we have to do all that? 
Apple is busy constantly changing where the controls are on I tunes  rather than fixing something simple and important like this.
Today I wanted to load some songs onto my ipod touch and it took me 10 minutes to figure out how to sync because the last itunes update got rid of the side bar.  
How are you supposed to get comfortable using a product when they keep moving the controls around?   Just quit apple.   leave the controls where they are.  Add new controls if needed but stop moving them.  I know I'm ranting now but I am honestly angry and frustrated,

( we have a column for date in the table by name 'leave start date' and 'leave end date', can we use this and create our own table with year month and day as separate columns).
    Thanks.

    Using teh abiove u can get difference but when u pass previous year u wont get the exact.
    There is no seperate FM for this, u have to use three FM.

  • Album release dates in "Album" view

    Is there something wrong with the way I'm tagging my music in iTunes, or do you notice this too?
    In the iPod app, when you view all your music by Albums, some albums list the release date (for example, April 10, 2008), while other albums only list the release year (2008).
    I don't see any way to change or edit this in iTunes... Go to your Albums on your iPad and see if you notice the exact same thing... Some albums have the exact date, and some only have the year.
    Is it like this for anybody else?

    Here's a thought...maybe nobody has answered because they don't have a solution for you, and there's no point in posting a "gee, I'm sorry I can't help you" response. Or, as this appears to be an iTunes-related issue, and not necessarily associated with the iPad itself, you might try posting in the appropriate forum.
    Here's another thought...blatantly insulting the group as a whole is probably not going to get you the type of attention you seek.

  • How to create offset for calendar year/month in BEx Reporting

    HI ALL,
        i have a requirement of creating offset for calendar year/month.Basically i have a characteristic in Rows and volume key figure in Column and i have to put that volume under the calender year /month which is shown below ..
                             Previous Volume           Present Volume
                                     01.2010                             01.2011
    material                    10000                               20000
    how can i create a report for this . by using volume key figure i am creating previous volume and present volume,. how can i put them in key figure do i have to create any structure, selections  for that.... and "" how can i get the present year volume and previous year volume. If i use cal year/month how can i create offset for that.....
    please do let me know in brief...
    Thank you.

    Hi ,
    I think you need data year wise .
    Instead of creating a variable for calmonth and using it in the RKF , you can just drag calyear in columns and keep the Volume keyfigure below it . Keep only one keyfigure Volume and do not restrict it with calmonth or any other variable .
    In this case calyear should not be present in rows or free characteristics .
    You would be able to see the data year wise ..
    Try this and check whether it is according to your requirement
    If You need to show the data as Volume (01.2011)  and Volume(01.2010)
    It means you are only showing data for Jan 2011 and Jan 2010 in the report
    In this case you can retrict Volume keyfigure with a variable and create a customer exit variable
    for 0calmonth as an offset of -1 will bring the data of 12.2010 for Previous Volume(01.2010) key figure which is incorrect .
    For your output you can create 2 customer exit variables :
    One will restrict 0calmonth to current year and another to previous year .
    Check whether this works .
    Also , if you want to show current calendar months data , you can either use a mandatory variable on 0calmonth
    and restrict the same in volume keyfigure or there are std customer exit variable provided by SAP to give current cal month .
    You can restrict the char 0calmonth with this std exit variable if you do not want 0calmonth variable to be mandatory.

  • How to find compensation data for the year

    Dear All,
    Scenario:
    A company wants to know the comepnsation data for financial year 2009-2010.
    Problem: I couldnot find a single report which can provide the compensation of an employee for the year.
    We are trying to build a report however needs input if anyone has done that:
    Table which stores this data is PS_COMPENSATION.
    Problem is : it stores data in effective date.
    How to then convert it into a year -April 2010 to March 2011
    For example: cases
    a. existing employee: whose effective comp data will be less than April 2010
    - Plus, there are pay rate changes between April 2010 to march 2011. (Pay rate change can happen on any date of the month)
    - How can I add them to find the Compensation as per comp page from 1st April to 31st march 2011

    I'm afraid what you're looking for is not likely to be a trivial task. If you have all of the modules required for the "Report Total Compensation" product, then you should take a look at the associated PeopleBook. I think you will have to be on HRMS 9.0 at a minimum, and using Payroll for North America and Benefits Administration.
    To create a custom solution, you may have to consider a variety of other factors such job status--leave, terminated, terminated with pay, etc.--hourly vs. salaried, part time vs. full time, multi-job, variable compensation. It will depend entirely on the specific features that are being used at your site.
    If you provide a very detailed example of the output you are looking for with sample data, someone might be willing to offer a solution.
    Regards,
    Bob

  • Release date for next version of Forms?

    Has anyone heard of a release date for the next version of Forms (10.1.2.0.2 or whatever it will be)? I may be starting a major Forms project shortly and I'd like to use the most current version of Forms with the current Application Server.

    We are looking at mid summer this year. Depending on your start times it may be as well starting on 10g (9.0.4) as there is a long support cycle for it.

    I'm super excited about the new features, especially the integration of C4D and AE, and adding looks in Premiere. I've looked for information about release dates but can't find any details. What's the release date for the new features?

    No official date yet but based on past releases it will likely be in the next month or two.

  • Is there a release date for Apple pay in australia

    IS there a release date for Apple pay in Australia

    The SQL Developer team have always run a series of early adopter releases before the production release as we have found the community really get involved in these, which is of course benficial for everyone. We plan to do the same for the next release and will announce any early adopter releases here on the forum.
    We will be demonstrating features at Oracle OpenWorld, but you may recall that SQL Developer 2.1 was not production for that last year, so we have a lot to show.
    Unfortunately we are bound by Oracle policy and may not release any dates.

  • Release Dates for JDK versions

    Gettting back into the tech world after a hiatus. Trying to figure out how much catching up I have to do. I'm trying to figure out the release dates for the various JDK's so I can pick up on where I left off - it was somewhere between 1.2 and 1.4 I'm sure. The release notes and so on are very inconsistent about listing release dates. Any help out there on where to look?
    Brian

    Bri,
    Suggest you just download 1.6 and take a quick run through the tutorials http://java.sun.com/docs/books/tutorial/ to pickup the basics again... you'll probably need a bit of a refresher course anyway if you're going back into coding for a living.
    But what you've really missed is the standard hugemungious leaps in the open source libraries over the past few years.
    I don't think the release notes are really worth reading, unless you're being paid to do it of course.

  • Release date for

    Does anyone know if there is a release date for the X-Fi drivers for XP, I see the Vista drivers have been up for some time. Or are we XP users getting the shaft? It's going to take a lot of convincing for me to move over to Vista, I don't see DX0 as incenti've enough for me to shell out 200 bucks for an upgrade.

    Did Creative forget about XP users of something, it's been a year since there was a driver, and it seems like they only fixed Vista drivers. I'm not looking to switch to Vista, unless I have to, there's no justification for it, it's as good as an OS like Windows ME, which only lasted a year or so.

  • Release Date for next BEA Workshop?

    Hi:
    I haven't seen much activity around BEA Workshop 3.3 as far as new releases for more than 1/2 of a year. Is there a release date for the next version? What will it be? What happens to those people who already have subscriptions to BEA Workshop?

  • Dell OMSA ViB Release Date for vSphere 6.0

    Hi,
    is there any information on release dates for vsphere vib's for vSphere 6 (OMSA 7.4.1 / 8.0.1 / 8.0.2)
    apart from that... will OMSA 8 be continued in two different development  branches for T430/R430/T530/R530/M630... and T630/R630/R730/R730xd or will there be a future single release for all 13G serversystems.
    kind regards
    Torsten

    Toki76,
    The Dell Customized ESXi 6.0 ISO was just released 2 days ago. So  I would assume, from past experience, that the VIB is going to be released very shortly behind it., but as of right now I don't see it released. I can research to see if I can narrow the delivery date though, and let you know.
    In regards to OMSA 8, likely it will be a single version that encompassed both branches.
