I think the window title should at least display "Muine". The HIG has a
section about this:
http://developer.gnome.org/projects/gup/hig/2.0/windows-primary.html

Depending on wether you see Muine as a document (song) based app, or a
non-document based app, these are the relevant section:

For non-document-based applications, use Application Name as the window
title.

While document names are most pertinent to users, we understand that
application developers may want to increase recognition of their
application. If you plan to include your application's name in the title
of a primary window, use the following format: Document Name -
Application Name. This will ensure that the document name appears in
limited space situations such as the system window list.

I would personally go for: "[song] By [artist] - Muine".
