Public bug reported:

Looking through the dbus.log that is attached there, I see lots of
requests with "undefined" for the artist. There is even a request for
"undefined/undefined", meaning that both artist and album are undefined.

What's up with that? I take it this means that the corresponding tag is
missing in the ID3 tags in the audio file. But was does the remote
server do when it gets one or both artist and album set to "undefined"?
Is there actually any meaningful interpretation of that at
dash.ubuntu.com? If so, at the very least, we'll need to document that.

So, where are "undefined" strings coming from? The media scanner or the
music app?
