So far, I have added some metadata for works on MusicBrainz - partly, if available, also the links to popular streaming/downloading platforms.
For most services these are recognized correctly. But for Napster links, global links are wrongly listed as ‘Napster US’ entries. An example where this just happened to me is ‘Things We Do For Love’ by The Sounds. The link is
https://www.napster.com/artist/the-sounds/album/things-we-do-for-love-arnioki-records-llc
Depending on where and if a subscription to Napster exists, you will be redirected to the info page with metadata about the album or directly to the album. In each case to the respective regional edition. So it would be nice if MusicBrainz would leave the prefix www. to forward users correctly.
Thanks a lot.

This is intentional, and we do the same everywhere a website has a “redirect to a specific edition”. These links don’t always exist for all editions in the first place, and it’s better to have a link that exists than one that might or might not exist.
