Bug Description
Because the artist names pulled from freecddb (or musicbrainz) don't always match with the ones used by last.fm, the "get information on this artist/album from the web" support often results in a 404.
It might be better to link to their search page instead, at least until they complete their integration with musicbrainz as a backend (at which point we should have a canonical way to describe most albums).
Example:
* Rhythmbox reads "Coheed & Cambria".
* This links to http://
* The real link is http://
* It is pretty forgiving, so http://
