Comment 5 for bug 1052162

"should we also check if the artist/album/title have changed to avoid
this kind of problem even if this bug is not due to the dock?"
I'd rather not, it's not our job to fix others bug.
Plus it's a endless and hopeless battle, for non-critical bugs, the
correct way is to report bugs upstream and hope they fix it asap.
