This card can be used to search into the MusicBrainz database for a specific artist. It can be used in combination with a media player entity to directly get the artist name currently playing.
No specific requirement. If you want to link the card with a player entity, the player must have an attribute called media_artist in the state of the entity. This is the case for the kodi integration.

Manual installation is of course possible, but not explained here as there are plenty of tutorials.
