Comment 5 for bug 1378278

I have just confirmed with Facundo that the server does this transparently. In other words, if the application sends artist+album and 7digital returns a failure for this, then the server automatically tries again with just the artist.

So, if the application does this too, we are just wasting resources. The correct behavior appears to be to always send artist+album. If that doesn't return artwork, neither will artist+<empty>.
