🎵 Radio Station Integration Example

Add this to your station page to automatically show album covers:

// When song changes, fetch cover from KMI function updateNowPlaying(artist, title) { fetch('https://kompamusicinfo.top/api/v1/cover' + '?artist=' + encodeURIComponent(artist) + '&title=' + encodeURIComponent(title)) .then(r => r.json()) .then(data => { if(data.found) { document.getElementById('album-cover').src = data.cover; document.getElementById('source').textContent = data.source; } }); }
