GNOME Bugzilla – Bug 157340
Unknown tracks should not have web link "buttons"
Last modified: 2006-04-12 12:00:07 UTC
I have some .mod files for which rhythmbox shows "from Unknown by Unknown". Clicking these buttons then sends a search off to www.allmusic.com despite the track being genuinely unknown rather than being called, or being by, unknown. For such tracks the allmusic links should be disabled. Other information:
Agreed.
Could be tricky, at the point where it generates the link, rhythmbox doesn't know that the tag was missing, it just knows that it has a string "Unknown". It would be dangerous just to check for that because there may indeed be an artist or album called "Unknown". In fact the whole missing tag thing should be revisited, I think the missing tags should just be listed as blank or somehow marked using a non-standard font or colour, rather than "Unknown" to avoid confusion if there really are albums/titles/artists that are called "Unknown".

Since weblink buttons have gone, closing bug. If reintroduced as a plugin, would need to address the issues in bug #328971.
