If a piece of information hasn't been fetched from the iTMS, it will transparently fetch and store it for later use before returning.If one of the methods id, name, website, genre, path, selected_albums, or total_albums is called, the information for the others will be fetched in the same request. This means, for these methods, the first call to one will have a time hit for the HTTP request, but subsequent calls won't.MethodsAll methods return undef on error and (should) set an error message, which is available through the error method. (Unless I note otherwise.)new($itms, $artistId)The first argument must be an instance of Net::iTMS, the second an iTMS artist ID.Returns a blessed hashref (object) for Net::iTMS::Artist.idReturns the ID of the artist (artistId).nameReturns the name of the artist.websiteReturns the website URL of the artist (undef if there isn't one specified).genreReturns a Net::iTMS::Genre object representing the artist's primary genre.pathReturns an arrayref of hashrefs representing the artist's "path" in the iTMS.
