[Abcde-users] Failback for musicbrainz failure?

[Geoff Sweet]

Interesting! I must be working with an older version from my repo (Mint
18).  The documentation doesn't reflect that.  Now, is that a failure like
it receives back a timeout or http 500? Or does it include an "Unknown"
disk situation?

I will also try to update manually to make sure I am using a version that
supports the comma delimited list.

Thank you!
