there were no changes to metadata until a week ago.

I considered that porn images being downloaded from time to time for
artwork was a blocker and needed to be fixed ASAP.

Little did I realise the fix was going to introduce so many breakage
that had to be attended to quickly :(

the more people to tell me on how things should work the better.

it's one of the worse piece of code I've ever worked on and
understanding its behaviour simply by looking at the code is virtually
impossible
