GNOME Bugzilla – Bug 473626
Last.fm: "Artists similar to X" and "X;s Similar Artists"
Last modified: 2018-05-24 12:50:12 UTC
[ From http://bugs.debian.org/437700 Alain Schroeder ] "If I add a new last.fm Radio, e.g. for similar artists of 'UNKLE', then it will create the Radio 'Artists similar to UNKLE'. If I play it, it will create the Radio 'UNKLE's Similar Artists'. Both play the same Radio. This might be translation-related and also be already reported somewhere else." I have reproduced this with svn from 070825.
Forgot to add, these are the entries from rhythmdb; <entry type="lastfm-station"> <title>Artists similar to UNKLE</title> <genre></genre> <artist></artist> <album></album> <location>lastfm://artist/UNKLE/similarartists</location> <play-count>1</play-count> <last-played>1188921262</last-played> <date>0</date> <mimetype>application/octet-stream</mimetype> <mb-trackid></mb-trackid> <mb-artistid></mb-artistid> <mb-albumid></mb-albumid> <mb-albumartistid></mb-albumartistid> <mb-artistsortname></mb-artistsortname> </entry> <entry type="lastfm-station"> <title> UNKLE’s Similar Artists</title> <genre></genre> <artist></artist> <album></album> <location>lastfm://artist/unkle/similarartists</location> <play-count>1</play-count> <last-played>1188921302</last-played> <date>0</date> <mimetype>application/octet-stream</mimetype> <mb-trackid></mb-trackid> <mb-artistid></mb-artistid> <mb-albumid></mb-albumid> <mb-albumartistid></mb-albumartistid> <mb-artistsortname></mb-artistsortname> </entry>
I see the same problem, also happens with "tag" radio and the "People who liked Artist" (or whatever it's called). It basically means you see double of each station whenever you click it.
Switching to the new last.fm streaming system doesn't really have any effect on this, but it's not worth trying to fix it until that's done.
Actually, I think I cut out the code that did this. The way we create last.fm streams definitely needs some attention anyway.
