Can I ask how the metadata site lookup works for TheAudioDB?
Just looking at the statistics.... Artist.slideshow is hitting our site over 1.5 million times over a 24hr period on the searchtrack, searchalbum, album-mb methods. Thats over 6 million hits a day if you include all api methods using that api key.
That seems like a lot and i'm wondering if it can be improved in some way by calling the API less. I'm not sure its sustainable in the long term to have this much API usage for a single add-on. Am I right in thinking it downloads the artwork every single time as well?
What about caching or using the musicbrainz id only?
