I fail to see our approach as 'education' but since I already started
being annoyed by the lack of "album names" in my player I decided to add
the release year in the album name field.
We also fixed a lot of issues with the mix which sounds a lot cleaner now.
Finally I managed to finish my work on the cover which (as last year) is
in html rather than jpeg.
