How to make only text that is bigger than the container/element scroll

I have a marquee element in html displaying output from an API, but I only want to make the text scroll if the text itself would be bigger than the container width it is in, else it should just stay stationary. I've done some research and can't figure out how I would achieve this?

<!DOCTYPE html>
<html lang="en">
<head>
    <meta charset="UTF-8">
    <meta http-equiv="X-UA-Compatible" content="IE=edge">
    <meta name="viewport" content="width=device-width, initial-scale=1.0">
    <title>RadioWay >> Splash</title>
    
    <link rel="stylesheet" href="style.css">
    
</head>
<body>

    <div class="music-player">
        
     <marquee id="title" behavior="scroll" direction="left"></marquee>
     <marquee id="artist" behavior="scroll" direction="left"></marquee>

    </div>
</html>

$.getJSON(
  "https://derrick.xonosho.st/api/nowplaying/1",
  function (data) {
    // artist name, song title, URL album
    var song_title = data["now_playing"]["song"]["title"];
    var artist_name = data["now_playing"]["song"]["artist"];
    var album_URL = data["now_playing"]["song"]["art"];

    $(".disk").css("background-image", `url("${album_URL}")`);
    $("#title").html(
      `${song_title}`
    );
    $("#artist").html(
      `${artist_name}`
    );
  }
);
