I've added the two rules above, and the one at the top of the page, but it doesn't seem to be sufficient. Any more rules to add, or is this working for anyone else?

I've had difficulty trying to reproduce any issues here. (From the UK/NZ and US) I don't get any warnings

Allmusic is more aggressively blocking Adblock than before. Pagefair and SupportFreeContent scripts?

Thank you, but sadly there is another problem.

Confirmed the above works ONLY if I disable the EasyList subscription.

Examining EasyList's filters to see if they could be tweaked, I tried disabling all instances of allmusic.com and, separately, pagefair domains. This didn't work. I can't tell what in the very long EasyList filters is triggering Allmusic.com's ABP detection. In any case, that isn't a very appealing approach anyway, as some rules being disabled will break ABP functionality on other sites, too.

What do you advise?

There should be a Blockable Items List that shows what filters were actually triggered on the page.
There's a buzzin' in my brain I really can't explain; I think about it before they make me go to bed.
