Music Station gets you banned from musicabrainz.org

[Bedlore]

Many times I got banned from musicbrainz.org. Working with their tech guy I finally tracked it down to QNAP's official Music Station app. which is performing musicbrainz lookups using eg.

It is the "Firefox/3.6.3" part in particular that will get you banned very quickly because many bots targeting musicbrainz have this signature so its used to firewall "attacks". The likely culprit is /share/MD0_DATA/.qpkg/QDMS/4.2/lib/libscrap.so

I'm on a TS-859 Pro+ with Music Station version 4.8.7 (now uninstalled)

Thanks
