Title:
automatic last.fm links don't work so well
Status in The Rhythmbox Music Management Application:
Confirmed
Status in “rhythmbox” package in Ubuntu:
Incomplete
Bug description:
Because the artist names pulled from freecddb (or musicbrainz) don't
always match with the ones used by last.fm, the "get information on
this artist/album from the web" support often results in a 404.
It might be better to link to their search page instead, at least
until they complete their integration with musicbrainz as a backend
(at which point we should have a canonical way to describe most
albums).
Example:
* Rhythmbox reads "Coheed & Cambria".
* This links to http://last.fm/music/Coheed%20%26%20Cambria (404)
* The real link is http://last.fm/music/Coheed+and+Cambria
* It is pretty forgiving, so http://last.fm/music/Coheed%20and%20Cambria also
works, although avoiding the need for escaping results in a nicer looking URL.
