Description Josselin Mouette 2009-03-23 19:57:27 UTC
[ Original report: http://bugs.debian.org/519060 by Drew Parsons ]

My music collection has an album called "Глубина Резкости" by the
Russian band Дельфин (Dolphin).  It's the 1999 album at
http://lyricwiki.org/Dolphin . 

The third song is called "Вера" (that's Vera, not Bepa. It means
"Faith" or "Belief").

When I switch on rhythmbox lyrics for this song with Ctrl-L, searching from
lyricwiki.org, it complains, saying

   {{Disambig}}
   * [[Dolphin:Вера (альбом "Не в фокусе")|Вера (альбом "Не в фокусе")]]
   * [[Dolphin:Вера (альбом "Глубина резкости")|Вера (альбом "Глубина
   резкости")]]

   Lyrics provided by lyricwiki.org

("альбом" means album, by the way. Curious that that part of the
communication is given in russian (my locale is english))

Looking again at http://lyricwiki.org/Dolphin, we can see that there
is indeed another album from 1997 titled "Не в фокусе" ("Not in
focus"). The 9th song from that album has the same title as the one
I'm listening to, and rhythmbox via lyricwiki.org can't tell which is
which. They are completely different songs, only the title is the
same.

But rhythmbox does know which album it's playing. The properties for
my song has the album entry filled in with "Глубина Резкости".
Rhythmbox should be able to use this information to disambiguate and
determine which of the two songs is the correct one.

We can't use lyricwiki.org any more, unfortunately.
