  Lots of "undefined" requests to thumbnailer

Bug description:

  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?
