Summary0018950: Further metadata to import from iTunes XML file
DescriptionDuring importing metadata from iTunes the following fields are imported from the XML file: 'Play Count', 'Play Date' and 'Rating'
while the other metadata is imported from the file tag itself.

It would make sense to import as much metadata as possible from the XML file -- with precedence over the metadata in file tag.

EDIT:
Per request from ticket # 3982 also 'Start Time' and 'Stop Time' should be imported.

Precedence should be a user setting.

Re the precedence: I would expect that once user imports data from the itunes XML file then he expects those data to have the precedence over the data in file tag.
So let's implement the precedence as suggested and we can fine tune this in case of a negative feedback.

In order to minimize risk of regressions and to avoid the precedence issues I added importing only those fields that might not be included (or are not included) within file tag.
And only for files not already in the MM5 library.

Namely:
'Episode order' -- details at: https://www.mediamonkey.com/forum/viewtopic.php?p=496194#p496194
'Start Time' and 'Stop Time' per Ticket # 3982 request
and some further integer only fields like 'Disc Number', 'Year', but these are included within file tag.

All the others (and all string fields including comments and lyrics) _are_ included within file tag.
Tested by editing the file in iTunes and then importing the exported XML library file to clean MM5.DB

So test it and let's re-open if you find some further fields that are not included within the file tag, but are included within the XML.

=> Fixed in 2612

Lightly Tested in 2613

No regressions found and all fields that were imported in 2611 were imported in 2613.

Test Note: Remove already imported iTunes library files from MM library and re scan to compare correct import newly added imports.
