[ubuntu-mono] [Bug 778090] Re: Banshee is unable to retrieve CDs information from MusicBrainz

[Chris Metzler]

The change just made to the bug description appears wrong to me.  In the
Musicbrainz blog post linked to in the description, the Musicbrainz
developers say that they are *not* dropping on the floor queries that
don't identify a User-Agent; they are throttling them, but not failing
to honor them.  The Musicbrainz folks think the NGS change is a non-
issue here.

Title:
  Banshee is unable to retrieve CDs information from MusicBrainz

Status in Banshee Music Player:
  Fix Released
Status in The Rhythmbox Music Management Application:
  New
Status in “banshee” package in Ubuntu:
  Triaged

Bug description:
  Binary package hint: banshee

  the MusicBrainz querying policy has changed. now each request MUST
  provide a user-agent, and Banshee doesn't do this, so any requests are
  not honored.

  Conclusion: we are unable to retreive CDs informations.
