The Artist Library

Build me a self-contained HTML/CSS/JavaScript "Now Playing" artist card for my internet radio station's website. It should show the current artist's newest photo, name, a short bio, genres and a link to more info, and update automatically when the song changes.

My station's now-playing source: [PASTE YOUR URL, e.g. AzuraCast https://YOUR-SERVER/api/nowplaying/YOUR-STATION, Icecast https://YOUR-SERVER:8000/status-json.xsl, or SHOUTcast v2 https://YOUR-SERVER:8000/currentsong?sid=1]
My site's style: [e.g. "dark with orange accents, rounded corners" or paste your CSS colours]

Requirements:
- Poll my now-playing source every 20 seconds and only call the Artist Library when the artist changes.
- Get the artist from the song title using the cleaning rules in the spec below.
- Fetch the artist from the Artist Library API (spec below) and cache each artist in localStorage for 24 hours.
- If status is 0 or there is no photo, show a placeholder with the artist's initials.
- Trim the bio to about 300 characters with a "Read more" link to the artist's page on the Artist Library.
- Include the credit line from the usage rules.
- Responsive and accessible (alt text, readable contrast). No external libraries.
- If my now-playing source blocks cross-origin requests, explain the simplest proxy fix for my server type.
- Give me one file I can paste into my site, plus short install steps.

Write a Python 3 script that builds a local archive of artist data for every artist in my music collection, using the Artist Library API (spec below). Every artist it looks up is also saved permanently in the shared library, so this helps it grow.

My artist list comes from: [PICK ONE: a folder of MP3/FLAC files (read the artist tags) / an M3U or CSV playlist / my AzuraCast or SHOUTcast song history / a text file with one artist per line]

Requirements:
- Collect artist names and de-duplicate them case-insensitively. Also look up the main artist of "feat."/"ft." credits.
- Call the v2 endpoint once per artist, one request at a time, at most one request every 2 seconds, with a 30-second timeout and 3 retries with backoff.
- Save each response to artists/<safe-file-name>.json and download the newest large photo and thumbnail into artists/photos/.
- Keep a progress file so the script can be stopped and resumed, and skip artists already saved.
- At the end write summary.csv (input name, display name, found, genres, country, photo file) and print totals: found, not found, errors.
- Use only the requests library (plus mutagen if reading audio files). Include setup and run instructions for Windows and macOS/Linux.

Write a small WordPress plugin called "Artist Info" that adds the shortcode [artist_info name="Madonna"]. It shows the artist's newest photo, display name, facts (country, born/formed, hometown), genres as tags, a bio excerpt and similar artists, using the Artist Library API (spec below).

Requirements:
- Fetch server-side with wp_remote_get (30-second timeout). Cache each artist with set_transient for 7 days, and "not found" for 1 hour.
- Shortcode options: name (required), bio_length (default 400), show_photo, show_similar.
- Similar artists link to the artist's page on the Artist Library.
- Escape all output (esc_html, esc_url, esc_attr). If the API fails, show nothing rather than an error.
- Include the credit line from the usage rules and simple, responsive CSS that inherits my theme's fonts.
- Give me the complete plugin file(s) and installation steps.

Add artist profile pages to my PHP website: artist.php?name=Madonna shows a photo gallery (every photo, newest first), the full bio in paragraphs, facts (country, born/formed, hometown, gender), genres, similar artists linking to their own artist.php pages, and Spotify/Last.fm links.

My site uses: [describe your layout or CSS framework, e.g. "Bootstrap 5" or "plain HTML with my own style.css"]

Requirements:
- Fetch server-side from the Artist Library API (spec below) with cURL and a 30-second timeout. Cache the JSON on disk for 7 days (1 hour for status 0).
- Escape everything with htmlspecialchars. If status is 0, show a friendly "not found" page with HTTP 404.
- Add an SEO title and meta description from the bio, and schema.org JSON-LD (Person when gender is set, otherwise MusicGroup).
- Include the credit line from the usage rules.

I want to use the free SHOUTcast Widgets Artist Library API (spec below) in my project.

My project: [describe what you're building, the language or platform, and which artist info you want to show or store]

Please:
- Write a small reusable client (function or class) that fetches an artist, caches results, handles status 0, timeouts and network errors, and follows the usage rules.
- Show how to use it in my project, and explain where each piece of code goes.
- Point out anything in the spec that doesn't fit my use case.
