Last night I finally got around to improving the artist information a bit.
So I created an artist page. For now it can’t show all of the artist’s songs, but I’ll finish that soon, it’s a minor thing. That’s what it can’t do yet, and now here’s what it can do:
Main artist info from last.fm / wiki – This used to be on the Song page, but only temporarily, until I created this page.
Show the artist’s labels/tags – Last.fm returns a lot of tags for every artist, but most of them aren’t actually genres. When there is one, it’s just 1 out of several hundred, and more often it’s 0. I’ll look into whether there’s something like a paid API and how much it would cost per month to get more relevant data.
Related to this is another page that shows all artists with that tag.
EDIT: My mistake. It’s fixed now.
Show similar artists – Again, the information comes from last.fm. But just like with tags, Last.fm must keep track of dozens of similar artists for each one, yet the API returns only a few to me.
The images are small, but they’re the largest ones last.fm provides through its public API. The API for getting all of a user’s images also no longer works, supposedly because of copyright. I don’t understand this world.
There really are very few artists that have at least 1 genre, so here’s Abba again: https://lyrics.sunamo.cz/en/interpret/-28442 .
PS: I’ve also turned off ads for now.
