@spiff are you about?
I think you agreed on the sense of varying scarper behaviour when the response from Muscbrainz was "Server Unavailable". Not being able to get data because of server issues is not the same thing as there not being any data for the album or artist. When we get a 503 some of the things we may want to do are:
a) retry a bit later
b) if album falis with 503 then skip trying the artist (inaccurately), but if album genuinely is not found then do try to scrape the artist.
c) Let the user know when refresh from info dialog has a server issue opposed to album or artist not found and prompting for entry of names.
I have this working for the xml scraper. But how would you suggest the Python scraper API is changed to allow a similar thing with that?
