While you're tweaking this plugin, I have found another area that needs attention. In clicking on Album Information, then Credits, the results now display only the first line rather than all the credits. Ok, found that. I won't rush yet another update, as I'm sure you'll find even more issues

1.6.29 installed. That look much better Michael. The links are restored and an unexpected No Artist result from a Qobuz track now also replaced with a decent Bio. Craig’s link manipulation in Material also still works. Have you reversed the logic to put HTML first and only show JSON if no HTML?
