API reference

Used to get album art for tracks playing on the live stream

Steps:

1. Get the cue_title and track_artist_name from the Triton Station Player
2. Use cue_title and track_artist_name to query MusicBrainz Search API for the 36 character MBID (info)
   • Search for a recording with the title and artist
   • Url encode the parameters with the following syntax <cue_title> AND artist:"<track_artist_name>"&limit=1&fmt=json
   • Retrieve the id from the first element in the releases array
     • If no id exists, a placeholder image should be displayed
   • Sample query:
     • cue_title: Talladega
     • track_artist_name: Eric Church
     • Search url: http://musicbrainz.org/ws/2/recording/?query=talladega%20AND%20artist:%22eric%20church%22&limit=1&fmt=json
     • Resulting id: 886eb853-44be-46ef-a99f-4c61bf3c404a
3. Use the id to construct an image url based on the the Cover Art Archive API
   • Url syntax: http://coverartarchive.org/release/id/front-500
   • Sample image url: http://coverartarchive.org/release/886eb853-44be-46ef-a99f-4c61bf3c404a/front-500
4. Load and display the image with Picasso
   • If no image exists, Picasso will generate an error and a placeholder image should be displayed
