how to include artist information? #28

substreamer gives you information about an artist from last.fm if you open the artist page on android. I don't know how to call / abbreviate this feature. add a col? I really like that feature.

Artist Bio. ?

Is this a server feature of a Client feature? Is it in the metadata of an album, or it is pulled from within the server?

Answer. Server. I found it in Navidrome Documentation. https://www.navidrome.org/docs/overview/

Navidrome just links to last.fm if I can see that correctly. It does not include the information directly within the UI. Neither do I think it is written into the database. E.g. substreamer fetches artist information independent of the server.

I was wrong navidrome does include artist bio within the UI. Probably I didn't see it because the server was up and running for a minute and had not fetch the info at the time.
