I keep getting:

The MusicBrainz web server is currently busy. Please try again later.

So I've asked ChatGPT for help, and here are some possible solutions it suggested:

  • queue MusicBrainz requests instead of sending several at once
  • automatically retry temporary errors like 503/429
  • wait a bit longer after each failed attempt
  • respect Retry-After if MusicBrainz sends it
  • cache MusicBrainz responses so the same data is not requested again
  • maybe allow using a different MusicBrainz API endpoint for people running their own mirror

I'm not a programmer, so I have no idea which of these would be the best approach, but some kind of automatic retry/queue system would make Harmony much nicer to use when MusicBrainz is busy.
