Describe the Bug

I listened to songs by "Unknown Artist" on Spotify and Multi-Scrobbler failed to scrobble them
The target is Maloja

Exemple track: [Unknown Artist - Who Got Me](https://open.spotify.com/track/4KRREmlZJVhVVVvJHpUN5L)

Workaround: I tried to go in Multi-Scrobble faied scrobbles page and manually scrobble to Maloja using webadmin using a name different than "Unkown Artist", such as "(Unkown Artist)"

Platform

Local (NodeJS)

Versions

Multi-Scrobbler: 4fdd346
Spotify: not sure but still present on latest
Maloja: 3.2.3

Logs

I will upload logs later sorry

Additional Context

It seems to be a bug from Maloja but I think a workaround could be changing "Unknown Artist" by "(Unknown Artist)"

I've replied to your issue on the Maloja repo with a setting change that should allow Unknown Artist to be scrobbled.

If that does not work then the workaround you suggested can be achieved by using an artist scrobble modification in multi-scrobbler like this (in spotify.json)

[
  {
    "name": "MySpotify",
    "enable": true,
    "data": {
     // your spotify data
    },
    "options": {
      "playTransform": {
        "preCompare": {
          "artists": [
            {
              "search": "Unknown Artist",
              "replace": "(Unknown Artist)"
            }
          ]
        }
      }
    }
  }
]

Setting invalid_artists in the Maloja config file settings.ini solve this issue
Thanks @FoxxMD
