It is worse with compilation CDs. Sometimes they don't provide enough information and you have to do research to discover the year for each song.

What I've been doing is the Playlist representing the Album contains the Year of Pressing for the CD. The individual tunes have the year it came out. If you put the wrong year (e.g. year the album came out versus the original date the song came out) then the play-by-year feature is all hokie and blooie.
