Customising for Your Stream
Depending on how your stream is structured, you may need to modify:
Slash vs Double Colon
Default:
If your stream uses colon syntax:
Different Mount Points
If your stream isn't /listen.mp3, simply change it to whatever your server uses—e.g.:

> /live

iTunes Artwork Notice
The script attempts to fetch missing artwork from iTunes (Apple Music).
However, keep in mind:
> If your library contains thousands of tracks,
> And your now-playing system refreshes every 10 seconds,
> And you have many visitors…
…then iTunes will receive a huge number of artwork requests and may begin rate-limiting or blocking you.
Recommendation:
Use your own artwork library wherever possible, and allow the iTunes fallback to handle only the gaps. This significantly reduces API load and helps keep everything stable.
