In-case anyone is curious, Spotify won't authorize SAMBL to be a non developer-mode application due to it's main purpose of aggregating data.
Point 5 here: developer.spotify.com/policy#iii-s...
"Do not create any product or service which is integrated with streams or content from another service."
Additionally, in order to keep Spotify functional for SAMBL at all, I am now REQUIRED to pay Spotify for a premium subscription.
Enshittification at its finest.

The changes mostly remove endpoints related to bulk fetching of various items but also include removing all externally accessible UPCs and ISRCs from the platform. This is going to harm everyone involved, especially labels and distributors, which will eventually impact users.
This is extremely disappointing. This removes most of the utility of interacting with Spotify at all for meaningful data.

Before Fix
After Fix
Turns out there was an issue with SAMBL's fetching logic (caused by re-using an array) that resulted in a large amount of artists having some missing albums (Issue has been fixed now), but this has been in SAMBL ever since the refactor to Next/React... for almost a year.
- Fix some providers not returning `releaseDate` fields
- Refactor album processing
- Fix critical issue causing some MusicBrainz releases not to be fetched due to reusing an array for both featured and normal artist releases

Dev Update:
SAMBL SoundCloud support is finished!
Just waiting a little bit to push the Update and finalize a few things until I finish adding SoundCloud to harmony.
Im making good progress, but learning how harmony's code works while making something new takes a minute.
So, Apple Music support isn't happening any time soon...
Though... if anyone has a spare key... I wouldn't not be interested...

Artist banners look pretty cool 👀
Also, SoundCloud support coming soon!
Working on adding SC to harmony.pulsewidth.org.uk too!

SAMBL 2.2.0 is Live!

Full changelog here: github.com/Lioncat6/SAM...
Eventually, I do want to support multi-provider fetching... which wouldn't be too difficult, all things considered
Dev Update: SAMBL has now been completely abstracted to support different streaming services!
Deezer support is complete with tidal coming soon!
Due note that *some* features might not work with some providers. In this case, you can see the popularity meter is missing from deezer.
The Deezer API has no limit to the amount of entities you can get at once, so I can get an artist's entire discography with a single request!

Almost done updating the artist page to support multiple providers!
Sidenote: The Deezer API is really easy to work with (The tidal API, less so...)
Also also got tidal UPC and ISRC lookup working
