Summary0020553: Properties: Original Title field is misleading since it actually usually refers to Original Album
DescriptionAs reported at https://www.mediamonkey.com/forum/viewtopic.php?t=105594 , the 'Original Title' field is misleading since the tags that are written for this field are often intended to represent the Original Album Title. See:
https://www.mediamonkey.com/wiki/WebHelp:About_Track_Properties/5.0

As described originally at https://www.ventismedia.com/mantis/view.php?id=5431 , this approach was taken because:
- the original tags could be interpreted as referring to original title or original album title
- 'Original album/title' is too long
- Original title could ambiguously refer to album title or title

But as indicated by the user, this approach is confusing/misleading when it comes to music. Possible solutions:
1) Use 'Original Title' for Type: Movie, TV, or Video and 'Original Album' for all other cases (using the same approach as MM uses for Podcasts--where the field name changes based on Type).
2) Change 'Original title' to 'Original album'
3) Add a tooltip indicating 'Original title / album'
TagsNo tags attached.

Fixed in build 2831. Used 2), it is consistent with other apps. We probably do not need 1), as this field is not used for video types at all.
