henry 746cecf204 Fix KeyError in Deezer track conversion when artist is missing (#6929)
Fixes #4339.

The album half of this issue is already fixed, `album_for_id` guards the
`contributors` key. This covers the remaining call site, `_get_track`,
which still assumes the key exists:

```python
artist, artist_id = self.get_artist(
    track_data.get("contributors", [track_data["artist"]])
)
```

Two problems. The default argument to `.get` is evaluated eagerly, so
`track_data["artist"]` runs on every call, even when `contributors` is
present. A track payload carrying `contributors` but no `artist` raises
KeyError, despite the code reading as though the fallback only applies
when `contributors` is missing. And the fallback itself depends on
`artist` being there, which is the same assumption sampsyo asked the
plugin to stop making.

I mirrored the shape already merged for the album path: use
`contributors` when present, fall back to `artist` when that's the one
we have, and leave the artist fields unset when neither key exists.
`str(artist_id)` now also only runs when there's an id, so a track with
no artist info gets `None` instead of the string "None". The album path
still calls `str(artist_id)` unconditionally and can store "None" the
same way, but I left it alone to keep this to the one call site. Happy
to follow up on it.

`_get_track` had no test coverage, so I added three tests: contributors
without artist, artist without contributors (the old fallback still
behaves the same), and neither key. The first and third fail on master
with KeyError at the `.get` line, and all three pass with the change.
ruff check and format are clean on both files.

beets
=====

Beets is the media library management system for obsessive music geeks.

The purpose of beets is to get your music collection right once and for all. It
catalogs your collection, automatically improving its metadata as it goes. It
then provides a suite of tools for manipulating and accessing your music.

Here's an example of beets' brainy tag corrector doing its thing:

::

    $ beet import ~/music/ladytron
    Tagging:
        Ladytron - Witching Hour
    (Similarity: 98.4%)
     * Last One Standing      -> The Last One Standing
     * Beauty                 -> Beauty*2
     * White Light Generation -> Whitelightgenerator
     * All the Way            -> All the Way...

Because beets is designed as a library, it can do almost anything you can
imagine for your music collection. Via plugins_, beets becomes a panacea:

- Fetch or calculate all the metadata you could possibly need: `album art`_,
  lyrics_, genres_, tempos_, ReplayGain_ levels, or `acoustic fingerprints`_.
- Get metadata from MusicBrainz_, Discogs_, and Beatport_. Or guess metadata
  using songs' filenames or their acoustic fingerprints.
- `Transcode audio`_ to any format you like.
- Check your library for `duplicate tracks and albums`_ or for `albums that are
  missing tracks`_.
- Clean up crufty tags left behind by other, less-awesome tools.
- Embed and extract album art from files' metadata.
- Browse your music library graphically through a Web browser and play it in any
  browser that supports `HTML5 Audio`_.
- Analyze music files' metadata from the command line.
- Listen to your library with a music player that speaks the MPD_ protocol and
  works with a staggering variety of interfaces.

If beets doesn't do what you want yet, `writing your own plugin`_ is shockingly
simple if you know a little Python.
